Radioactive decay follows exponential decay law. The decay rate depends on the decay constant and the number of remaining nuclei.
공식
The calculator applies N(t) = N₀ × e^(-λt) or A(t) = A₀ × e^(-λt)
- N
- N₀ × e^(-λt) or A(t) = A₀ × e^(-λt) — N₀ × e^(-λt) or A(t) = A₀ × e^(-λt)
- A
- A₀ × e^(-λt) — A₀ × e^(-λt)

풀어진 예시
입력
N₀ = 1 mol (6.022 × 10²³), λ = 0.693/5730 yr⁻¹ (¹⁴C), t = 5730 yr
결과
N ≈ 0.5 mol (50%)
One half-life
피해야 할 일반적인 실수
- ✕Using decay constant instead of half-life without converting
- ✕Assuming linear decay instead of exponential
자주 묻는 질문
Can radioactivity be accelerated or stopped?
No, decay rate is determined by nuclear physics and cannot be changed by temperature, pressure, or chemistry.
What's the difference between activity and amount?
Amount is number of nuclei (decreasing exponentially); activity is decay rate (also decreasing, at same rate).
