Question 3
A pure sample of 226Ra contains 2.0 1014 atoms of the isotope. If the half-life of 226Ra = 1.6 103 years, what is the decay rate of this sample? (1 Ci = 3.7 1010 decays/s)
Question 4

Fill in the blank(s) with correct word
Question 5
Which of the following characterize(s) a wave?
a. Wavelength
b. Amplitude
c. Period
d. All of these
Question 6
Homer says that we can safely use nuclear power because all radioactive nuclei are gone after two half-lives. Marge says that only the decay rate is zero after two half-lives. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?
a. Homer, because half of the nuclei disintegrate in each half-life.
b. Marge, because the number of decays per unit time is halved in each half-life.
c. Homer, because it's safe to handle radioactive substances after two half-lives.
d. Both, because when all nuclei disintegrate the decay rate is also zero.
e. Neither, because one quarter of the nuclei are left after two half-lives.
