The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 150 mg sample. The masses (in mg) that remains after t years A=150/2^t/30yrs

<h3>what do you mean by half-life?</h3>

A substance's half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of it to decompose.

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

Half-life is the length of time it takes for half of an unstable nucleus to go through its decay process. A radioactive element's half-life decay time varies depending on the element. For instance, carbon-10 has a half-life of only 19 seconds, making it impossible to discover in nature. On the other hand, uranium-233 has a half-life of almost 160000 years.

When n half-lives have passed, the formula for estimating the amount still left is:-

A=A°/2^n

where,

A=initial amount

A°=remaining amount

n=t/t_{1/2}

A=150/2^t/30yrs

What is nucular decay
Nikitich [7]
Nuclear decay is the decay of atoms on the atomic scale. “Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.”
