A sample of radioactive material A, that has an activity of 10 mCi(1 Ci = 3.7 $$ \times $$ 10¹⁰ decays/s), has twice the number of nuclei as another sample of a different radioactive materail B which has an activity of 20 mCi. The correct choices for half-lives of A and B would then be respectively :

At some instant, a radioactive sample S₁ having an activity 5 $$\mu $$Ci has twice the number of nuclei as another sample S₂ which has an activity of 10 $$\mu $$Ci. The half lives of S₁ and S₂ are :

An electron from various excited states of hydrogen atom emit radiation to come to the ground state. Let $${\lambda _n}$$, $${\lambda _g}$$ be the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the n^th state and the ground state respectively. Let $${\Lambda _n}$$ be the wavelength of the emitted photon in the transition from the n^th state to the ground state. For large n, (A, B are constants)

It is found that if a neutron suffers an elastic collinear collision with deuterium at rest, fractional loss of its energy is p_d; while for its similar collision with carbon nucleus at rest, fractional loss of energy is p_c. The values of p_d and p_c are respectively :
