Answer to Question #112389 in Atomic and Nuclear Physics for DEEPAK SINGH

Question

state the law's of radioactive decay.curve the unit of decay constant and write down its relationship with half life obtain the expression N= N°(1/2)^n.

Answer 1

The radioactive decay law states that the probability per unit time that a nucleus will decay is a constant, independent of time. This constant is called the decay constant and is denoted by λ, “lambda”. ... The radioactive decay of certain number of atoms (mass) is exponential in time
