The half-life of a radioactive nuclide is 20 hours. What fraction of original activity will remain after 40 hours? |
|
Answer» `40` hours means `2` half lives. Thus, `A=(A_(0))/(2^(2))=(A_(0))/(4)` or `(A)/(A_(0))=(1)/(4)` So one fourth of the original activity will remain after `40` afters. Specific activity: The activity per unit mass is called specific activity. |
