1 NMHS Physics, M. Davis

2 Complete the following tasks on your own paper. Turn you paper over when completed. 1)Define half-life. 2)The half life for tritium (hydrogen-3) is 12.3 years. If you have 10.0g of tritium approximately how much will remain at the end of 28 200 years?

3 Complete on your paper. 1)The isotope neptunium-238 has a half-life of 2.0 days. If 4.0 g of neptunium-238 was produced on Monday of this week, how many grams will remain on Tuesday of next week? 2) A sample of polonium-210 was purchased for your physics class on September 1 st. Its rate of decay is 2 x 10 6 βq. What kind of activity would be expected on June 1 st of the following calendar year?
