(Physics) The number of years it takes for an isotope of uranium to decay to one-half an original amount is given by this formula, where λ, the decay constant (which is equal to the inverse of the mean lifetime), equals 0.00012:
half-life = ln(2) / λ
Using this formula, write, compile, and run a C++ program that calculates and displays the half-life of this uranium isotope. Verify the result your program produces by doing a hand calculation. After verifying that your program is working correctly, use it to determine the half-life of a uranium isotope with λ = 0.00026.
