The speed of radioa
tive de
ay of nu
lei in a radio-a
tive tissue is proportional to the number N (t) of
present nu
lei in the tissue at an instant t.
1) Explain why N ′ (t) = −λN (t) for a
ertain
onstant λ > 0.
2) If N0 is the initial number of nu
lei, give an expression of N (t),
3) We dene the so-
alled "
hara
teristi
time" τ as τ = 1/λ. Give the equation of the tangent line
(T) to the
urve (C) of N (t) with respe
t to t at t = 0. Draw the
urve (C) and the tangent line (T).
4) Determine an expression of the so-
alled "half-life period" τ1/2 whi
h refers to the time of de
ay of
half of the number of nu
lei N0 . Give an expression of N (t) as fun
tion of N0 and τ1/2 .
