The half-life tells you that after the specified time, half of a sample will have decayed.
How long it takes for half of a sample to decay to another form.
How long it takes for half of a sample to decay to another form.
This is because it will tell you how long until the radioactivity dies down to a safe level and when the radioisotopes are completely decayed and safe to be exposed to
Its stability. The longer the half-life, the more stable is the isotope.
Look up Half Life anthology at the steam store and it will tell you the size of it. :)
The nuclide half-life tells you what the nuclide is, and if the the decay rate is inconsistet, it can help tell what mix of nulides are presetn in the sample
They are both the same size, covering half the world each.
If you can atleast Run Half Life 2 you can run it.
Tell them to think of a number between 1-9. Tell them to double it Tell them to add, let's say, 4 Tell them to half it Tell them to tell them their answer and their answers would be 2. How? Easy. Half of the number you tell them to add after they double their, is the number they started with. In this case, 2 would be their starting answer because half of 4 is 2 It also works with odd numbers, if you're good at calculating decimals So remember. Think of a number. Double it Add a number of your choice Half it Ask for their answer. Half the number you told them to add Tell them And there you go, they'll think you're a mind-reader
Why doesn't Answers.com have any actual answers to any of my questions? Tell me that.
There is a simple connection between the random nature of nuclear decay and the half-life of a radionuclide. Any given atom of a radioactive element can undergo decay "any time it wants to" in the real world. This is the random nature of radioactive decay. We absolutely cannot tell whenthat one atom of whatever it is will decide to decay. The nuclear decay will happen when "it wants to" and we can only speak to the decay event of a given radionuclide by statistical means.We look at a vast number of the same kind of atoms and count the decay events. We do this over some determined interval of time, which can be shorter or longer, depending on how unstable the given radioisotope is. We'll then use our knowledge of how much we had to begin with and how many decay events we observed over out observation period to calculate how long it takes "about half" the material to decay. That's what a half-life is. It's a statistically derived span of time during which half the amount of a (sufficiently sized) sample of a specific radionuclide will decay and half will be left to undergo decay later on.
