What does the term 'half-life' mean in the context of exponential decay?

Back

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value. In exponential decay, it is the time taken for half of a substance to decay.

How can you estimate the half-life from a graph of an exponential decay?

Back

To estimate the half-life from a graph, find the time it takes for the quantity to decrease to half of its initial value.
