Thank you, but you are not answering my question. My A level book says that lambda is the probability of decay per second. And the equation provided to A level students is here. It says that activity in Bq is equal to lambda x N (number of unstable nuclei) This makes sense for small values of...
I am thinking about lambda, the nuclear decay constant and what it actually means.
I have built spreadsheet models looking at decay using lambda to determine the decay for each time period and then comparing the number left to that determined by using e ˆ- lamda x time.
These are my...
Hello. I am a Physics teacher currently in Kathmandu.
I am experienced in Edexcel IAL and in the past CIE and IB DP.
I think a lot about the meanings of numbers, but have poor math skills in terms of calculus but am strong at spreadsheet modelling.
