Starting with a sample of pure ${}^{66}Cu$, $7/8$ of it decays into $Zn$ in $15 \ minutes$. The corresponding half-life is ................ $minutes$.

The half-life of a radioactive element is $1600$ years. The fraction of the sample that remains undecayed after $6400$ years will be:

The activity of a radioactive sample is measured as $9750$ counts per minute at $t = 0$ and as $975$ counts per minute at $t = 5$ minutes. The decay constant is approximately ............ per minute.

Assertion : If the half-life of a radioactive substance is $40 \ days$,then $25\%$ of the substance decays in $20 \ days$.
Reason : $N = N_0 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^n$,where $n = \frac{\text{time elapsed}}{\text{half-life period}}$.

The number of half-lives elapsed before $93.75 \%$ of a radioactive sample has decayed is
