Radioactivity. Exponential
Decay
Given an amount of a radioactive
substance, say, 0.5 g (gram), find the
amount present at any later time. Physical
Information. Experiments show that at each
instant a radioactive substance
decomposes and is thus decaying in time
proportional to the amount of substance
present.
Step 1. Setting up a mathematical
model of the physical process.
Now the given initial amount is 0.5 g,
and we can call the corresponding
instant t=0
