Q5
Define the term ‘Half-life’ of a radioactive substance. Two different radioactive substances have
half-lives T1 and T2 and number of undecayed atoms at an instant, N1 and N2 , respectively. Find the
ratio of their activities at that instant.

Q6
The nucleus 235 92 Y, initially at rest, decays into
90231X by emitting an α-particle

The binding energies per nucleon of the parent nucleus, the daughter nucleus and α-particle are 7·8 MeV, 7·835 MeV and 7·07 MeV, respectively. Assuming the daughter nucleus to be formed in the unexcited state and neglecting its share in the energy of the reaction, find the speed of the emitted -particle. (Mass of α-particle = 6·68 x 10-27 kg)
