Half Life And Mean Life
Half Life And Mean Life . Half life of radioactive substance is average time it takes for sample n 0 to reduce to n 0 /2. In 14 more days, half of that remaining half will decay, and so on. Half Life and Mean Life from www.slideshare.net The mean life also turns out to exactly equal the number τ that appears in the exponential term e −t/τ involved with describing decay or growth, called the time constant. Λ is the decay constant. The si unit for measurement of activity is ‘ becquerel’ and is defined as, 1 becquerel = 1 bq = 1 decay per second.
