THE HALF LIFE OF A RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL IS 12 DAYS, CALCULATE THE DECAY CONSTANT
The decay constant, denoted by λ (lambda), is a measure of the rate at which a radioactive substance decays. It is related to the half-life (T1/2) of the substance through the equation: λ = ln(2) / T1/2 Where ln(2) is…
WHAT IS MEANT BY THE HALF LIFE OF A RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE
The half-life of a radioactive substance refers to the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to undergo radioactive decay. It is a fundamental property of radioactive isotopes and is used to describe the rate at…
