A radioactive sample contains two different types of radioactive nuclei: A, with half-life 9.0 days, and B, with half-life 18.0 days. Initially, the decay rate of the A-type nucleus is 256 times that of the B-type nucleus.
1) When will their decay rates be equal?

Two radioactive nuclei A and B are present in equal numbers to begin with. Three days later, there are 3.35 times as many A nuclei as there are B nuclei. The half-life of species B is 1.93 days. Find the half-life of species A (in days).
Suppose a radioactive sample initially contains N0 unstable nuclei. These nuclei will decay into stable nuclei,...
Suppose a radioactive sample initially contains N0 unstable nuclei. These nuclei will decay into stable nuclei, and as they do, the number of unstable nuclei that remain, N(t), will decrease with time. Although there is no way for us to predict exactly when any one nucleus will decay, we can write down an expression for the total number of unstable nuclei that remain after a time t: N(t)=N0e−λt, where λ is known as the decay constant. Note that at t=0,...
