How this is calculated

Each half-life halves the quantity, so the remainder is the initial amount times one half to the power of elapsed half-lives.

Formula

N = N₀ × (1/2)^(t ÷ half-life)

Frequently asked questions

Does the unit matter? Use the same time unit for elapsed time and half-life.

What else uses half-life? Drug elimination and carbon dating.
