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

N₀ = 1 mol (6.022 × 10²³), λ = 0.693/5730 yr⁻¹ (¹⁴C), t = 5730 yr
Kết quả
N ≈ 0.5 mol (50%)
One half-life
Lỗi thường gặp cần tránh
- ✕Using decay constant instead of half-life without converting
- ✕Assuming linear decay instead of exponential
Câu hỏi thường gặp
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).
