ACTIVITY(A)= DISINTEGRATION RATE(D)==RADIOACTIVITY = DECAY RATEThe decay rate is proportionalto the total number of nuclei (N)dN/dt = λN = A = Dλ=decay constant ( sec -1 )Remaining radionuclides at any time (t) areN t = N o e -λt , e -λt = decay factorRadioactive decay is exponentialD t = D o e -λt or A t = A o e -λ t
