The activity of a radioactive sample:

After $40 \, days$,the $1/16$th part of a radioactive element remains undecayed. What is its half-life (in $, days$)?

Two radioactive elements $A$ and $B$ initially have the same number of atoms. The half-life of $A$ is equal to the mean life of $B$. If $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ are the decay constants of $A$ and $B$ respectively,then choose the correct relation from the given options.

$N$ atoms of a radioactive element emit $n$ number of $\alpha$-particles per second. The mean life of the element in seconds is:

Two radioactive materials $X_1$ and $X_2$ have decay constants $5 \lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively. Initially,they have the same number of nuclei. After time $t$,the ratio of the number of nuclei of $X_1$ to that of $X_2$ is $\frac{1}{e}$. Then $t$ is equal to:

The activity of a radioactive sample is measured as $N_0$ counts per minute at $t = 0$ and $N_0/e$ counts per minute at $t = 5 \, minutes$. The time (in $minutes$) at which the activity reduces to half its value is
