Homework Statement
In a chain radioactive disintegration,the half-life of the parent and daughter nuclide are 10 years and 25 years respectively.if the disintegration process is at its equilibrium stage with the parent no. of nuclei equal to 5* 10^8, the daughter no. of nuclei will be
Homework Equations
t1/2 = 0.639/λ
n/n0=(1/2)^(t/(t1/2))
n/n0=##e^-λt##
The Attempt at a Solution
t11/2 = 10 years
t21/2 = 25 years
N=No (because its at equilibrium)
→e^-tλ=1
tλ=0??
