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.

katovenus [111]

Water combines with carbon dioxide to produce slightly acidic groundwater

that dissolves limestone and forms caves.

This is because the reaction between water and carbondioxide to form

atoms thereby increasing the acidity.

The acidic environment results in the formation of acidic groundwater that
