Ok? is this a question or what?
Answer: 33.35 minutes
Explanation:
A(t) = A(o) *(.5)^[t/(t1/2)]....equ1
Where
A(t) = geiger count after time t = 100
A(o) = initial geiger count = 400
(t1/2) = the half life of decay
t = time between geiger count = 66.7 minutes
Sub into equ 1
100=400(.5)^[66.7/(t1/2)
Equ becomes
.25= (.5)^[66.7/(t1/2)]
Take log of both sides
Log 0.25 = [66.7/(t1/2)] * log 0.5
66.7/(t1/2) = 2
(t1/2) = (66.7/2 ) = 33.35 minutes
