Problem. The daughter nucleus formed in radioactive decay is often radioactive. In this case we have a decay chain as shown below A → B → C That is, atoms of A decay into an atoms of B and atoms of B decay into atoms of C. Let A0 represent the number of parent nuclei at time t = 0, A the number of parent nuclei at time t, and λ1 be the decay constant of the parent. Suppose the number of daughter nuclei at time t = 0 is B0, let B be the number of daughter nuclei at time t, and let λ2 be the decay constant of the daughter.
(a) Suppose that element A has a half-life of 45 days and element B has a half-life of 60 days. Also you are given that A0 = 750 atoms and B0 = 500 atoms. Roughly how many long (in days) have elapsed when there are 25 atoms of B for every atom of A in our sample.
(b) At this time, roughly how many atoms of C are there?

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...
