    How Do You Calculate the Decay Constant from Radioactivity Measurements?

    thanks If I have solved for a Coulomb force between an alpha particle and a carbon nucleus, is there any relations that get to potential energy? I thought energy from that would just be Fr

    How Do You Calculate the Decay Constant from Radioactivity Measurements?

    Homework Statement A sample of radioactive isotope is found to have an activity of 120 Bq imediately after it is pulled from the reactor that formed the iso- tope. Its activity 1 h 55 min later is measured to be 85.8 Bq. Find the decay constant of the sample. An- swer in units of h^-1...
