Calculate the time interval between 33% decay and 67% decay if half-life of a substance is 20 minutes.
<!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->

N? /N? = e?
For 33% decay, N? /N? = 0.67 ≈ 2/3.
2/3 = e? ⇒ t? = (1/λ)ln (3/2)
For 67% decay, N? /N? = 0.33 ≈ 1/3.
1/3 = e? ⇒ t? = (1/λ)ln (3)
Δt = t? - t? = (1/λ) [ln (3) - ln (3/2)] = (1/λ)ln (2) = T? /? = 20 min
A radioactive sample has an average life of 30ms and is decaying. A capacitor of capacitance 200 µF is first charged and later connected with resistor 'R'. If the ratio of charge on capacitor to the activity of radioactive sample is fixed with respect to time then the value of 'R' should be _______ Ω.

Q/A = constant [Given]
A = A? e? & Q = Q? e? /?
Q/A = (Q? /A? ) e^ (-t/RC + λt) = constant
For this to be constant, the exponent must be zero.
-t/RC + λt = 0
1/RC = λ
R = 1/ (λC) =
Two radioactive substances X and Y originally have N1 and N2 nuclei respectively. Half life of X is half of the life of Y. After three half lives of Y, number of nuclei of both are equal.
The ratio <!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml>

The ratio <!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml>
Number of half lives of Y = 3
Number of half lives of X = 6 [As half life of X is half of that of Y].

Nuclear force is related to quarks and gluons in the following ways:
- Protons and neutrons are made up of a combination of smaller particles called quarks and down quarks. A proton has two up quarks and one down quark whereas neutron has one up quark and two down quarks.
- Nuclear force is an interaction
How does the nuclear force contribute to nuclear stability?
How does the nuclear force contribute to nuclear stability?
Nuclear force is important to maintain the stability of an atomic nucleus for the following reasons:
- A nucleus has positively charged sub-particles called protons. Since like charges repel each other, a nucleus, in ideal scenario, should fall apart because protons won't be able to coexist in the nucl
How does the nuclear force overcomes repulsion between protons?
How does the nuclear force overcomes repulsion between protons?
As we all know that like charges repel each other. This means that there must be a repulsive electromagnetic force between positively charged protons. However, the nuclear force is said to be 100 times stronger than electromagnetic force which makes it strong enough to hold protons together within a
A nucleus with number 184 initially at rest emits an a-particle. If the Q value of the reaction is 5.5 MeV, calculate the kinetic energy of the α - particle.
