At time $t = 0$,the mass of a radioactive element sample is $10 \, g$. After a time interval equal to two mean lives,what mass of the sample will approximately remain in $g$?

Define the average life of a radioactive sample and obtain its relation to decay constant and half-life.

Draw a graph of time $t$ versus the number of undecayed nuclei in a radioactive sample and write its characteristics.

The decay constant of a radioactive substance is $0.173 \, (years)^{-1}.$ Therefore:

$A$ radioactive nucleus $A$ has a single decay mode with half-life $\tau_A$. Another radioactive nucleus $B$ has two decay modes $1$ and $2$. If decay mode $2$ were absent,the half-life of $B$ would have been $\tau_A / 2$. If decay mode $1$ were absent,the half-life of $B$ would have been $3 \tau_A$. If the actual half-life of $B$ is $\tau_B$,then the ratio $\tau_B / \tau_A$ is
