The "half life" is how long it takes for a value to halve with exponential decay.Commonly used with radioactive decay, but it has many other applications!Example: The half-life of caffeine in your body is about 6 hours. If you had 1 cup of coffee 9 hours ago how much is left in ...

This is known as exponential decay. A practical use of the theory of exponential decay is what is known as the half-life of radioactive material. For example, a form of isotope of plutonium has a half-life of 87.7 years. The equation for the decay of this radioactive material over a ...

The resulting plot is linear with slope — k and intercept ln A . Linear regression (Procedure 3) is used on the pairs ( t i , ln x i ). The value of k is related to the half-life t 1/2 as k = ln 2/ t 1/2 ≈ 0.693/ t 1/2 ....
Half-Life We now turn to exponential decay. One of the common terms associated with exponential decay, as stated above, is half-life, the length of time it takes an exponentially decaying quantity to decrease to half its original amount. Every radioactive isotope has a half-life, and the ...

7Model#2:Radioactive Decay It is known that radioactive elements decay at a rate proportional to the amount of the element present: in other words, the relative rate of change is constant,and negative. For example, radium-226 decays in such a way that half of it disappears every 1590 yea...
