A certain element has half life period of 30 days. Find its average life

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the average life of an element given its half-life period, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between half-life and average life The average life (T_average) of a radioactive element can be calculated using the formula: \[ T_{average} = \frac{T_{half}}{\ln 2} \] where: - \( T_{half} \) is the half-life period, - \( \ln 2 \) is the natural logarithm of 2, approximately equal to 0.693. ...
