After 160 years, the activity level of the sample will be 0.5 curies.

<h3>What is half-life?</h3>

Half life of any radioactive waste is the half decay of that product.

The formula is \dfrac{\lambda }{\lambda_1} = 2^\dfrac{a}{b}

Where, λ is 4 cruies

λ1 is 0.5 cruies

b = 40 years

Putting the values in the equation

\dfrac{4}{0.5} = 2^\dfrac{a}{40}\\\\\\\dfrac{a}{40} =  4\\ = 160 years

Thus, the correct option is 160 years.

What is the similarity between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
MakcuM [25]

they are both types of passive transport which means they require no energy. They both work with the concentration gradient which means they go from a high concentration area to a low concentration area. The differences are simple diffusion just goes though the membrane of a cell while facilitated diffusion uses a protein channel

Simple diffusion: it is the process where molecules move from a area of high concentration to an are of lower concentration. There is no energy needed in simple diffusion. For example when sodium is highly concentration in a cell, it moves outside of the cell where sodium is less concentration. it takes no energy as simple diffusion is random and molecules move according to their concentration.
