Review Conceptual Example 11 before starting to solve this problem. The number of unstable nuclei remaining after a time t
Question:
Review Conceptual Example 11 before starting to solve this problem. The number of unstable nuclei remaining after a time t = 5.00 yr is N, and the number present initially is N0. Find the ratio N/N0 for
(a) (half-life = 5730 yr),
(b) (half-life = 122.2 s; use t = 1.00 h, since otherwise the answer is out of the range of your calculator), and
(c) (half-life = 12.33 yr). Verify that your answers are consistent with the reasoning in Conceptual Example 11.
