Decay law
Subject: Physics
Level: A level
Resource type: Whiteboard presentation
Teaching type: Multimedia lesson

Description

At the end of this activity, students should be able to:
– describe the decay of radioactive elements
– explain the concepts of: half-life, decay constant, mean lifetime; and describe the relationship between them
– state the formula for exponential law of decay
– explain the concept of the activity, name its units, and state on what its magnitude depends
