Ans. Given Data:
T½ = 10 min
Initial count rate = 368 per minute
To Find:
Time T = ?
Solution:
368 → 184 → 92 → 46 → 23
As clear, it takes 4 half lifes for count rate decreases from 368 to 23 per min so,
Time taken = No. of half life × half life
= 4 × 10
Time taken = 40 min
18.6. In an experiment to measure the half life of a radioactive element, the
following results were obtained:
Count rate/ minute 400 200 100 50 25
Plot a graph between the count rates and time in minutes. Measure the value
for the half life of the elemtn from the graph.
Ans. Graph between time and count rate:
Figure
After two successive half life, let ‘A’ point which is (n = 2).
Total time = No. of half life × half life
4 = n × T½
4 = 2 × T½

T½ =
2
T½ = 2min (half life is 2 min).
18.7. A sample of certain radioactive element has a half life of 1500 years. If it has
an activity of 32000 counts per hour at the present time then plot a graph of
the activity of this sample over the period in which it will reduce to 1/16 of its
present value.
Ans. Given Data:
Half life = T½ = 1500 year
Initial count per hour = Ao = 32000

8.8. Half-life of a radioactive element was found to be 4000 years. The count rates
per minute for 8 successive hodurs were found to be 270, 280, 300, 30, 285, 290, 305,
312. What does the variation in count rates show? Plot a graph between the count
rates and time in hours. Why the graph is a straight line rather than an
exponential?
Ans. Variation in count rate shows the random nature of radioactive decay, graph is almost
horizontal line, rather than exponential curvewhich is due to logn half-life as compared
to period of 8 hours.
18.9. Ashes from a campfire deep in a cave show carbon-14 activity of only one-
eighth the activity of fresh wood. How long ago was that campfire made?
