Sketch two graphs, with appropri- ate axes and labels, to show schematically how N(t) and Na(t) evolve if Na(0) = 0, for the two extreme cases where the daughter product is much more radioactive than the parent (\d >> \) and where the daughter product is much less radioactive than the parent (\a << λ). Given that the half-life of radon-226 is 3.8 days, indicate which graph is relevant and estimate the amount of radon in equilibrium with one mole of radium.
