Suppose the daughter nucleus in a nuclear decay is itself radioactive. If d and m denote the decay constants of daugher and mother nuclei and Nd and Nm the numbers of daughter and mother nuclei present at a time, then the number of daughter nuclei becomes constant when. 1) m N m d N d 2) m N d d N m 3) N m N d m d 4) N m N d m d The half-life of I131 is 8 days. Given a sample of I131 at time t = 0, we can assert that 1) no nucleus will decay before t = 4 days 2) no nucleus will decay before t = 8 days 3) all nuclei will decay before t = 16 days 4) a given nucles may decay at any time after t = 0 The intensity of gamma radiation from a given source is I0. On passing through 37.5 mm of lead it is grduced to I0/8.The thickness of lead which will reduce it to (I0/2) is 1) (37.4)1/3 mm 2) (37.5)1/4mm 3) (37.5/3) mm 4) (37.5/4)mm A radioactive material has mean lives of 16 years and 520 years for and -emission respectively. The material decays by simultaneous and -emission.
