AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the half-life period of a radioactive substance that becomes one-fourth of its original amount in 3160 years, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Decay**: We know that after a certain time, the amount of a radioactive substance decreases. In this case, after 3160 years, the substance has become one-fourth of its original amount. 2. **Using the Half-Life Formula**: ...
