Given that
initial activity Ao=30 MBq
time t=2.5*years=2.5*365=912.5 days
half life T1/2=15 days
now we find the decay constant
decay constant =0.693/15=0.0462/days
now we find the activity
activity A=Aoe-t
=30*e^-0.0462*912.5
=1.5 MBq

In all processes where a quantum system decays from a higher energy level to a lower one, the probability that the decay occurs during a given infinitesimal time interval dt is a constant, independent of time. Let us define this fixed probability to be adt, where is some constant (that has nothing to do with wavelength). This expresses the idea that at least for tiny time intervals, the probability is proportional to the duration of the interval: doubling the interval...

The number of radioactive isotopes in a sample, N(t) as a
function of time is given by an exponential law
where N(0) is the initial number of radioactive
isotopes at time t=0, and k is a constant. Find the expression for
t1/f, the time it takes for N(t) to go from its initial
value to N(o)/f. What is the value for X in the following
expression?

I only need help with part c). Thanks!
As a radioactive specimen decays, its activity decreases exponentially as the number of radioactive atoms diminishes. Some radioactive species have mean lives in the millions (or even billions) of years, so their exponential decay is not readily apparent. On the other hand, many species have mean lives of minutes or hours, for their exponential decay is easily observed. According to the exponential decay law, the number of radioactive atoms that remain after...

Review | Constants Periodic Table In the parts that follow, use the following abbreviations for time If a substance is radioactive, this means that the nucleus is unstable and will therefore decay by any number of processes (alpha decay, beta decay, etc.). The decay of radioactive elements follows first-order kinetics. Therefore, the rate of decay can be described by the same integrated rate equations and half-life equations that are used to describe the rate of first-order chemical reactions: Measure of...
