The number of atoms that remains after 3 half-lives given that it was originally 300000 atoms is 37500 atoms

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 300000 atoms
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 3
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining</h3>

The amount remaining after 3 half-lives can be obtained as illustrated below:

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 300000 / 2³

N = 300000 / 8

N = 37500 atoms

The speed at which seismic waves travel depends on the properties of the material that they are passing through. For example, the denser a material is, the faster a seismic wave travels. P waves can travel through liquid and solids and gases, while S waves only travel through solids.
