Hello! my question is -
What is the law of radioactive decay ?
and
derive the relationship betwen half life period and the disintegration constant.
the law of radioactive decay states that the rate of decay of nuclei present in a atom is directly propotional to the concentration of nuclie present (in other words directly propotional to the no of nuclei)
Law of radioactive decay
Where,
N = Number of nuclei in the sample
ΔN = Amount undergoing decay
Δt = Time
Half life
The half life of a radioactive substance is defined as the average time for which the nuclei of the atoms of the radioactive substance exist.
Average life or mean life (τ)
