Activity: Radioactive decay

As a bit of fun, you"ll start by investigating beer foam collapse to help with understanding how randomness gives rise to the exponential nature of decay. You"ll explain how the decay constant and initial number of particles affect the shape of the decay curve, derive the relationship between half life and decay constant and solve problems involving radioactive decay using the exponential equation and whole half lives.Need...
