The fraction of radioisotope left after 1 day is , with the half-life expressed in days
Explanation:
The question is incomplete: however, we can still answer as follows.
The mass of a radioactive sample after a time t is given by the equation:
where:
is the mass of the radioactive sample at t = 0
is the half-life of the sample
This means that the mass of the sample halves after one half-life.
We can rewrite the equation as
And the term on the left represents the fraction of the radioisotope left after a certain time t.
Therefore, after t = 1 days, the fraction of radioisotope left in the body is
where the half-life must be expressed in days in order to match the units.
