Tritium is a radioactive nucleide with a half life of 4500 days, determine the time for 90% of it to decay.

We know that the number of undecayed nuclei, N, is given by N=N 0 e -lambda t . From this, by setting N=N 0 /2 we know at this point that t= T 0.5 (the half life) and can show that lambda =ln(2)/T 0.5 . Henc...
