1g of strontium - 90 was reduced to 0.953 g after two years. Calculate the half-life period of strontium - 90.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the half-life period of strontium-90, we can use the formula related to radioactive decay. The decay can be described by the equation: \[ N_t = N_0 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}} \] Where: - \( N_t \) is the remaining quantity of the substance after time \( t \), - \( N_0 \) is the initial quantity of the substance, - \( t \) is the time that has passed, ...
