Variable What does it stand for? Vector? | Units N No t 1.) The decay constant, à, is related to the probability that a nucleus will decay in a given unit time. Which would decay faster, a sample with a decay constant of 10 per second or a sample with a decay constant of 1 per second? 2.) If you start with a larger population (bigger value of No) will it take longer for the sample to be reduced to half its original value? (For N to reach No/2)? 3.) Can you use this equation to determine when a single unstable nucleus will decay?
