Calculate the time reuired for 40% of a radioactive sample to disintegrate. Half life of the sample is 1.6xx10^(10) years.

Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetic. The mean life and half-life of nuclear decay process are tau = 1// lambda and t_(1//2) = 0.693//lambda . Therefore are a number of radioactive elements in nature, their abundance is directly proportional to half life. The amount remaining after n half lives of radioactive elements can be calculated using the relation: N = N_(0) ((1)/(2))^(n) Half life of .^(60)Co is 5.3 years, the time taken for 99.9% decay will be
