Explanation of Solution
The formula for the half time of sample can be calculated by using the following formula-
The formula for the fraction of sample and time can be calculated by using the following formula-
Where,
N and N0 = number of radioactive nuclei
The half- time of the radioactive elements are given as-
Iron-59 = 44.51 days
Titanium-45 = 3.078h
Calcium-47= 4.536days
Phosphorus-33 = 25.3 days
By using the above formulas following data will be calculated-
