Homework Statement


The Half life of the isotope 24Na is 15.00 hours. a stock solution of 24NaI contained 16000Bq of activity in 25cm3 at 5.00 pm on the 2nd of june. An experiment starting at 8:30am on the 4th of june requires 1kBq. What volume of the stock 24NaI solution would be required to give the desired activity at 8:30 am on the 4th of june

Homework Equations



I am not given any equation but the ones that relate to it are the simple half life, decay constant and exponential decay equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I really have no idea where to start in this problem i know this is asking a lot but any indication or support would be greatly appriciated

ok, write out these equations, and we'll take it from there :smile:

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'

This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...

Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'

The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
