Problem

The activity of a freshly prepared radioactive source is 1.5×1061.5\times10^{6} Bq. Ten days later its activity is measured to be 9.4×1059.4\times10^{5} Bq. (i) Determine the decay constant λ\lambda. (ii) How many additional days from the initial measurement must elapse for the activity to fall to 2.0×1052.0\times10^{5} Bq?
