Kaip apskaičiuoti Radioactive Decay
Kas yra Radioactive Decay?
Radioactive decay follows exponential decay law. The decay rate depends on the decay constant and the number of remaining nuclei.
Formulė
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)

Worked Examples
Įvestis
N₀ = 1 mol (6.022 × 10²³), λ = 0.693/5730 yr⁻¹ (¹⁴C), t = 5730 yr
Rezultatas
N ≈ 0.5 mol (50%)
One half-life
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕Using decay constant instead of half-life without converting
- ✕Assuming linear decay instead of exponential
Frequently Asked Questions
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).
