3. The activity of a radioactive element drops to 16th of its initial value in 32 Years. Find the mean life of the
sample.
4. The half life of a radioactive substance is 30 s. Calculate the decay constant.

2-marks question

6. The half life of a given radioactive nuclide is 138.6 days. What is the mean life of this nuclide ? After how
much time will a given sample of this radioactive nuclide will get reduced to only 12.5 %, of its initial
value
7. The decay constant for a given radioactive nuclide has a value of 1.386 day-1. After how much time will a
given sample of this radionuclide get reduced to only 6.25 % of its present number ?

3-marks question

8. Derive an expression for the average life of a radionuclide. Give its relationship with the half life.
9. A star converts all its hydrogen to helium achieving 100% helium composition. It then converts helium to
carbon via the reaction
3 2He46C12 Q (7.27 MeV).
The mass of the star is 5.0 X 10 Kg & it generates energy at the rate of 5 X 103 Watt. How long will it
32

take to convert all the helium in to carbon at this rate ?

5-marks question

10. Using the Bohr’s model calculate the speed of the electron in a hydrogen atom in the n=1,2 and 3 levels.
Calculate the orbital period in each of these levels.
