Answer: half life

Explanation: Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics and the time required for the decay of a radioactive material is calculated as follows:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{x}{a}

t= time required

k= disintegration constant

x= amount of substance left after time t

a= initial amount of substance

when one half of the sample is decayed, one half of the sample remains and t can be represented as t_{1/2}

at t= t_{1/2}, x=\frac{a}{2}

t_{1/2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{a/2}{a}

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}
