What is Radioactive Decay Calculator?

▾

Radioaktivní rozpad je spontánní přeměna nestabilních atomových jader v průběhu času. Poločas rozpadu je doba, za kterou se polovina atomů rozpadne; po n poločasech zbývá N₀/2ⁿ atomů.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

Vzorec

▾
f(x)N(t) = N₀ × e^(−λt) | t½ = ln(2)/λ | N(t) = N₀ × (½)^(t/t½)

How to Radioactive Decay Calculator

▾
  1. 1N(t) = N₀ × (½)^(t/t½)
  2. 2Decay constant λ = ln(2)/t½
  3. 3After 1 half-life: 50% remains; 2: 25%; 3: 12.5%
  4. 4Used in carbon dating, nuclear medicine, and waste management

Worked Examples

▾
Example 1
Given:Carbon-14, t½=5,730yr, elapsed 11,460yr (2 half-lives)
Výsledek:N = N₀ × 0.25 = 25% of original carbon-14 remains

Frequently Asked Questions

▾
Q

What is Radioactive Decay?

A

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous transformation of unstable atomic nuclei over time. The half-life is the time for half the atoms to decay; after n half-lives, N₀/2ⁿ atoms remain

Q

How accurate is the Radioactive Decay calculator?

A

The calculator uses the standard published formula for radioactive decay. Results are accurate to the precision of the inputs you provide. For financial, medical, or legal decisions, always verify with a qualified professional.

Q

What units does the Radioactive Decay calculator use?

A

This calculator works with inches, percentages. You can enter values in the units shown — the calculator handles all conversions internally.

Q

What formula does the Radioactive Decay calculator use?

A

The core formula is: N(t) = N₀ × (½)^(t/t½). Each step in the calculation is shown so you can verify the result manually.
