Ejemplo Resuelto
100 units with a half-life of 5 after 15 time units.
- 01Number of half-lives = 15/5 = 3
- 02Remaining = 100 × (0.5)³
- 03= 100 × 0.125
- 04= 12.5
Preguntas Frecuentes
What is half-life?
Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value through decay. It is constant regardless of the starting amount.
Does half-life ever reach zero?
Mathematically, no. The exponential decay function asymptotically approaches zero but never reaches it. In practice, the quantity becomes negligibly small.
What are some real half-lives?
Carbon-14: 5,730 years. Uranium-238: 4.5 billion years. Iodine-131: 8 days. Caffeine in the human body: about 5 hours.
