Question on: WAEC Physics - 2004
A radioactive substance has a half-life of 3 days. If a mass of 1.55g of this substance is left after decaying for 15 days, determine the original value of the mass
A
49.6g
B
37.2g
C
24.8g
D
12.4g
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
(1 \to \frac{1}{2} \to \frac{1}{4} \to \frac{1}{8} \to \frac{1}{16} \to \frac{1}{32})
(\frac{1}{32} = 1.55g)
1 = 1.55 x (\frac{32}{1} = 49.6g)
