A Geiger counter reading of a radioactive sample is initially 7020 counts per minute. The same sample gives a reading of 402 counts per minute 10.6 h later. What is the sample's half-life?
A) You are using a Geiger counter to measure the activity of a radioactive substance over the course of several minutes. If the reading of 400. counts has diminished to 100. counts after 48.2 minutes , what is the half-life of this substance? B) An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20 hours . If 24.3 g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago? C) Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors....
A Geiger counter registers a count rate of 7,600 counts per minute from a sample of a radioisotope. Ten minutes later, the count rate is 1,900 counts per minute. What is the half-life of the radioisotope?
A Geiger counter registers a count rate of 7,200 counts per minute from a sample of a radioisotope. Four minutes later, the count rate is 1,800 counts per minute. What is the half-life of the radioisotope?

Please answer 2 3 and 4. thanks .
1. In this activity, we will be exploring the relationship between the amount of a radioactive substance and the rate of decay. There are many forms of radioactive decay. For this activity we will be using beta (8) decay, when a neutron decays into an electron and proton, and gamma (7) decay, when an atom emits energy through a gamma photon. B- Decay y Decay High Energy+ Unstable Atom Neutron Low Energy+...
