A radioactive sample has a count rate of 10,000 Bq. 24 days later the activity has fallen to 625 Bq. What is the half-life of the sample?

Sagot :

Answer:

10000 Bq / 625 Pq = 16

Radioactivity has decreased by a factor of 16

2^4 = 16

So the sample has gone thru 4 half-lives

24 da / 4 = 6 da

6 da is the half-life
