3. Exercise
- Enter 0.4 for the decay constant!
- Before you start the simulation answer the first question.
- Run one step of simulation and observe how many nuclei have been decayed!
- Clear and repeat it several times!
Questions: 1) What activity do you expect from this radioactive material? (Hint: remember the following equation: ![](../assets/G_oval-12737749045681-30549-2059619.jpe)
2) What might be the reason that you do not get back the expected value? 3) If you repeat the simulation several times, which is the interval where you get values? | If you would like to see the simulation in full screen, please click here. |
