Cum se calculează Radioactive Decay

Ce este Radioactive Decay?

Radioactive decay follows exponential decay law. The decay rate depends on the decay constant and the number of remaining nuclei.

Formulă

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)

  • Using decay constant instead of half-life without converting
  • Assuming linear decay instead of exponential

Întrebări frecvente

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).
