Half-Life and Radioactive Decay

Mr. Anderson explains the concept of half-life and radioactive decay using a dice simulation. The video covers the consistency of half-life, the use of equations to calculate decay, and the impact of changing the decay constant. It also explores different types of radioactive decay, including alpha, beta, and gamma decay, and their characteristics. The video provides a comprehensive understanding of how radioactive decay works and how it can be modeled and calculated.

How does changing the decay constant affect the half-life in the simulation?
