उत्तर
Half life of `""_38^90"Sr", "t"_(1/2)`= 28 years
= 28 × 365 × 24 × 60 × 60
= 8.83 × 108 s
Mass of the isotope, m = 15 mg
90 g of `""_38^90"Sr"` atom contains 6.023 × 1023 (Avogadro’s number) atoms.
Therefore, 15 mg of `""_38^90"Sr"` contains:
`(6.023 xx 10^23 xx 15 xx 10^(-3))/90 "i.e." 1.0038 xx 10^20` number of atoms
Rate of disintegration, `"dN"/"dt" = lambda"N"`
Where,
λ = Decay constant = `0.693/(8.83 xx 10^8) "s"^(-1)`
`= "dN"/"dt" = (0.693 xx 1.0038 xx 10^20)/(8.83 xx 10^8) = 7.878 xx 10^10 "atoms/s"`
Hence, the disintegration rate of 15 mg of the given isotope is 7.878 × 1010 atoms/s.

A radioactive isotope has a half-life of T years. How long will it take the activity to reduce to a) 3.125%, b) 1% of its original value?
The normal activity of living carbon-containing matter is found to be about 15 decays per minute for every gram of carbon. This activity arises from the small proportion of radioactive `""_6^14"C"` present with the stable carbon isotope `""_6^12"C"`. When the organism is dead, its interaction with the atmosphere (which maintains the above equilibrium activity) ceases and its activity begins to drop. From the known half-life (5730 years) of `""_6^14"C"` and the measured activity, the age of the specimen can be approximately estimated. This is the principle of `""_6^14"C"` dating used in archaeology. Suppose a specimen from Mohenjodaro gives an activity of 9 decays per minute per gram of carbon. Estimate the approximate age of the Indus-Valley civilisation.
