Two radioactive materials $A$ and $B$ having decay constants $7 \lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively,initially have the same number of nuclei. The time taken for the ratio of the number of nuclei of material $B$ to that of $A$ to be $e$ is:

${ }^{131} I$ is an isotope of Iodine that $\beta$ decays to an isotope of Xenon with a half-life of $8$ days. $A$ small amount of a serum labelled with ${ }^{131} I$ is injected into the blood of a person. The activity of the amount of ${ }^{131} I$ injected was $2.4 \times 10^5 \text{ Bq}$. It is known that the injected serum will get distributed uniformly in the blood stream in less than half an hour. After $11.5$ hours,$2.5 \text{ ml}$ of blood is drawn from the person's body,and gives an activity of $115 \text{ Bq}$. The total volume of blood in the person's body,in liters,is approximately (you may use $e^{x} \approx 1+x$ for $|x| \ll 1$ and $\ln 2 \approx 0.7$):

The half-life of a radioactive sample undergoing $\alpha$-decay is $1.4 \times 10^{17} \; s$. If the number of nuclei in the sample is $2.0 \times 10^{21}$,the activity of the sample is nearly:

The sample of a radioactive substance has $10^6$ nuclei. Its half-life is $20 \, s$. The number of nuclei that will be left after $10 \, s$ is nearly ...... $\times 10^5$.

State the relation between average life and decay constant.

The decay constants of two radioactive elements are $15x$ and $3x$ respectively. Initially,they have the same number of nuclei. After a time of $\frac{1}{6x}$,the ratio of the number of their nuclei will be ........
