Exponential Decay

Accept that nuclear decay is a random process and that the probability of decay is related to the amount of energy that will be released when it happens.Understand that the number of decays per second in a sample of material is directly proportional to the number of nuclei.See that if dN/dt ∝ N then the decay is exponential.Understand how half life gives a measure of the rate of decay of a sample.Understand why the...
