Question
  1. Define ‘activity’ of a radioactive substance.
  2. Two different radioactive elements with half lives T1 and T2 have N1 and N2 undecayed atoms respectively present at a given instant. Derive an expression for the ratio of their activities at this instant in terms of N1 and N2.
✓

Answer

  1. Number of radioactive nuclei decaying per second at any time.
  2. $R_1=\lambda_1N_1=\frac{0.693}{T_1}N_1$

$R_2=\lambda_2N_2=\frac{0.693}{T_2}N_2$

$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{N_1}{N_2}\times\frac{T_2}{T_1}$
