    Half- life graphs

    The half life is the time it takes for the activity of a sample to half. Find the half lives
    of the following samples.

    Sample A

    Activity of Sample A Over 2 Minutes


    120
    Activity of Sample (Bq)

    100

    80

    60

    40

    20

    0
    0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140

    Time (s)

    Half Life = ________________

    Sample B

    Activity of Sample B Over 10 Minutes


    25000
    Activity of Sample (Bq)

    20000

    15000

    10000

    5000

    0
    0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700

    Time (s)

    Half Life = ________________


    Sample C

    Activity of Sample C Over 1 000 000 Years


    120000
    Activity of Sample (Bq)

    100000

    80000

    60000

    40000

    20000

    0
    0 200000 400000 600000 800000 1000000

    Time (years)

    Half Life = ________________

    Calculating Half Life:

    Example: A sample of cobalt-60 has an activity of 2000 Bq. What will the activity be
    after 10 years? Cobalt-60 has a half life of 5 years.

    Example: A sample of strontium-90 has an activity of 5000 Bq. After 120 years the
    activity has fallen to 625 Bq. What is the half life of strontium-90?
