Compute the fraction of nuclei that have decayed from decay constant and elapsed time. Used to assess source depletion and remaining activity.
输入衰变常数 λ 与时间 t,求已衰变份额。
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Decayed fraction | f = 1 − e^(−λt) = 1 − 2^(−t/T₁/₂) | Exponential decay |
| Remaining fraction | N/N₀ = e^(−λt) | Decay law |
| Half-life counting | Remains 1/2ⁿ after n half-lives | Decay arithmetic |
| Ten half-lives | <0.1% remains after 10 half-lives | Radiochemistry convention |
| Activity fraction | Activity decays in same proportion | Nuclear physics |
| Unit consistency | t and T₁/₂ must share units | Calculation note |
