. The activity of a source was measured as follows
Time/days 0 2 3 4 5
Activity 137 63 44 31 22
The background count was 7
i. Explain background count. How does it occur?
ii. Sketch the above graph and determine the half life of the source.
A=A02−tT,A=A_02^{-\frac tT,}A=A02−Tt,
T=tlog2A0A=1.83d.T=\frac t{\log_2\frac{A_0}A}=1.83^d.T=log2AA0t=1.83d.
