To solve the problem of finding the half-life of radioactive nuclei undergoing beta decay, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We have a sample with `n` radioactive nuclei that emit `n'` beta particles every 2 seconds. We need to find the half-life of these nuclei. 2. **Calculate Emission Rate**: ...
