SAQ 1 Question:
From the graph what is the half-life of the element? Explain
how you came to your answer.
Your answer:
The half life of the element would be found at 50%
radioactivity because if the radioactivity is at 50%, the number
of atoms will be at 50%, meaning that the half life for the
element is 1 year. 50% radioactivity is lost every year.
