The half-life of a stream of radioactive particles moving along a straight path with a constant kinetic energy of $4 \text{ eV}$ is $1 \text{ minute}$. The percentage of particles which decay before travelling a distance of $3.6 \text{ km}$ is (Mass of the radioactive particles $= 3.2 \times 10^{-21} \text{ kg}$ and charge of the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$).

In a radioactive material,the activity at time $t_{1}$ is $R_{1}$ and at a later time $t_{2}$,it is $R_{2}$. If the decay constant of the material is $\lambda$,then:

The mean life time of a radionuclide,if its activity decreases by $4\%$ for every $1 \ h$,would be .......... $h$ (product is non-radioactive,i.e.,stable).

If the half-life of a radioactive nucleus is $3$ days,nearly what fraction of the initial number of nuclei will decay on the third day? (Given,$\sqrt[3]{0.25} \approx 0.63$)

The half-life $(T)$ and the disintegration constant $(\lambda)$ of a radioactive substance are related as:

$A$ nuclear power plant supplying electrical power to a village uses a radioactive material of half-life $T$ years as the fuel. The amount of fuel at the beginning is such that the total power requirement of the village is $12.5 \%$ of the electrical power available from the plant at that time. If the plant is able to meet the total power needs of the village for a maximum period of $n T$ years,then the value of $n$ is
