If $87.5\%$ of a given substance disintegrates in $40 \text{ minutes}$,what is the half-life of the radioactive substance?

The ratio of $\frac{{}^{14}C}{{}^{12}C}$ in a piece of wood is $\frac{1}{8}$ part that of the atmosphere. If the half-life of ${}^{14}C$ is $5730 \text{ years}$,the age of the wood sample is $.....$ years.

$A$ certain nuclide has a half-life of $25 \ min$. If one starts with $100 \ g$ of it,how much of it will remain at the end of $100 \ min$?

The radium and uranium atoms in a sample of uranium mineral are in the ratio of $1 : 2.8 \times 10^6$. If the half-life period of radium is $1620$ years,the half-life period of uranium will be:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is $3 \ hours$. If the initial mass of the isotope were $256 \ g$,the mass of it remaining undecayed after $18 \ hours$ would be ....... $g$. (in $.0$)

To determine the half-life of a radioactive element,a student plots a graph of $\ln|dN(t)/dt|$ versus $t$. Here $dN(t)/dt$ is the rate of radioactive decay at time $t$. If the number of radioactive nuclei of this element decreases by a factor of $p$ after $4.16 \ \text{years}$,the value of $p$ is
