Answer:

Half life refers to the time for 1/2 of the radioactive atoms to decay.

Suppose that X has a half life of 10 days and Y has a half life of 20 days

If both start out with 1000 radioactive atoms then after 20 days

X would have 250 radioactive atoms and Y would have 500 atoms

The rate of decay is greater for the shorter half life:

In the example given X  must have the smaller rate of decay because it has a longer half life.

What is the law of variation of the period T of a simple pendulum
DIA [1.3K]
The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the length of the pendulum and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration. As we can see, the period of a simple pendulum depends only on its length.
