Radioactivity

Problem 6.227

A certain preparation includes two beta-active components with different half-lifes. The measurements resulted in the following dependence of the natural logarithm of preparation activity on time \(t\) expressed in hours:

\(\in A\) ( t 3.60 \(\begin{array}{ccccccc}2 & 3 & 5 & 7 & 10 & 14 & 20 \\ 3.10 & 2.60 & 2.06 & 1.82 & 1.60 & 1.32 & 0.90\end{array}\) 4.10 Find the half-lifes of both components and the ratio of radioactive nuclei of these components at the moment \(t=0\).

Find the half-lifes of both components and the ratio of radioactive nuclei of these components at the moment \(t=0\).
