Question
  1. Define ‘activity’ of a radioactive substance.
  2. Two different radioactive elements with half lives $T_1$ and $T_2$ have $N_1$ and $N_2$ undecayed atoms respectively present at a given instant. Derive an expression for the ratio of their activities at this instant in terms of $N_1$ and $N_2.$
✓

Answer

  1. Number of radioactive nuclei decaying per second at any time.
  2. $R_1=\lambda_1,N_1=\frac{0.693}{T_1}N_1$
$R_2=\lambda_2,N_2=\frac{0.693}{T_2}N_2$
$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{N_1}{N_2}\times\frac{T_2}{T_1}$
