Decay Calculator
Remaining Quantity
Formula
N(t) = N0 × e^(-λt), where λ = ln(2) / half-life, N0 is the initial quantity, and t is time elapsed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation. The rate of decay is characterized by the half-life.
What is the decay constant λ?
The decay constant λ = ln(2) / half-life. It represents the probability per unit time that a nucleus will decay.
