In law of radioactive decay N = Ne, the ratio N No is called:

Correct answer: B. Relative activity

  • A. Activity
  • B. Relative activity
  • C. Absolute activity
  • D. Stability
  • E. Decay constant

Explanation

Relative activity refers to the comparison of the activity level of a particular enzyme, catalyst, or biological substance under different conditions or in relation to a standard or control. It is often used to measure how changes in factors like temperature, pH, or substrate concentration affect the effectiveness or efficiency of the substance's activity. In enzyme studies, relative activity helps determine optimal conditions for maximum performance.

About Nuclear Physics

Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
