$A$ radioactive substance has a constant activity of $2000$ disintegrations/minute. The material is separated into two fractions,one of which has an initial activity of $1000$ disintegrations per minute while the other fraction decays with $t_{1/2} = 24 \ h$. The total activity in both samples after $48 \ h$ of separation is

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
