Radon has 3.8 days as its half-life . After how many days 25% of a radon sample remains undecayed ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine how many days it takes for 25% of a radon sample to remain undecayed, given that its half-life is 3.8 days. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Half-Life**: The half-life of a substance is the time required for half of the substance to decay. In this case, the half-life of radon is 3.8 days. This means that after 3.8 days, 50% of the original sample will remain. 2. **Determine Remaining Percentage**: ...
