Radioactive decay occurs when a radioactive isotope ("parent" isotope) gradually transforms into a radiogenic isotope ("daughter" isotope) over time. This process is modeled by the following function: where r is the ratio of parent to daughter atoms, t is time and τΗ is called the halflife. The following table shows several parent-daughter pairs along with their half-lives. Daughter N14 Srs7 Ar4o Pb206 Pb207 Half-Life (years) 5730 48.8 x 109 1.3 x 109 4.6 x 109 0.7 x 10 arent Rbs7...
