A radioactive source has a half-life of 6 days.How long will it take for the count rate to fall from 180 per minutes to 145? The half-life of iodine-131 is 8.04 days.On a certain day,the activity of an iodine-131 sample is 6.64...
youcantalk about the half-life of an atom. If you take a radioactive atom and wait for it to decay, the half-life is how long you’d have to wait for there to be a 50% chance that it will have decayed. Very radioactive ...
Answer to: ^{32}P is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 14.3 days. If you currently have 34.5 g of ^{32}P, how much ^{32}P was present 6.00...
Ionizing radiation is given off by radioactive material, very high-voltage equipment, nuclear reactions and stars. It's both natural and man-made. A natural source of ionizing radiation is radon, a radioactive material found underground. X-rays are a good example of man-made ionizing radiation...

How much time is required for a 6.25-mg sample of radioactive C to decay to 0.75 mg if it has a half-life of 27.8 days? Half-Life: The half-life is expressed in time such as days which tells specifically the time required for the s...
I think of these probably-defunct devices as my own rough equivalent of nuclear waste, but instead of radioactive isotopes they may hold old personal data that I don’t want to see leak out. That’s “may” because unlike spent reactor fuel that we know has to be kept safe, these gadg...
half-life of a certain radioactive substance is 2.5 sec.The initial amount ofsubstance is S。grams.a. Express the amount ofsubstance S remaining as a function of timet.b. How much of the substance isleft after 2.5 sec? after 7.5 sec?c. Determine S。if there was 1 g left after 1 ...
These decay events are random but can be averaged using a term called "half-life". This describes the time it takes for half the amount of any given radioactive material to decay, on average. For example, the half-life ofplutonium-238 is 87.7 years, whereas uranium-238 has a half-life...
