suppose a detector was purchased with an activity (no.
of radioactive decay per second) 760000 bq.
FIND THE DECAY CONSTANT of the device. Write the DECAY
EQUATION.
NEED A PROGRAM IN MATLAB
Homework Answers
Solution:
Activity (A) is related with decay constant (
) as,
A = - dN/dt = N
Thus, = A/N
Where, N=number of disintegration = 760000
Then = 760000 bq/
760000 disintegation
thus, decay constant = 1.0 s-1

A sample has a C614 activity of 0.0089 Bq per gram of carbon. (a) Find the age of the sample, assuming that the activity per gram of carbon in a living organism has been constant at a value of 0.23 Bq. (b) Evidence suggests that the value of 0.23 Bq might have been as much as 44% larger. Repeat part (a), taking into account this 44% increase.

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,...
