The terms half-life and mean life are both factors pertaining to radioactive decay.  

Half Life

  • The half-life (T½) is the time required for either the radioactivity or the number of radioactive atoms to decay to half of the initial value.
  • After one half-life, the activity is ½ of the initial value, after two half-lives it is ¼, and so on.  
  • The equation for half-life is

\boxed{\bf T\frac{1}{2} =\dfrac{0.693}{k}}  

  • k represents the decay constant.  

Mean Life

  • The mean life (Ta) is the average lifetime of a radioactive atom before it decays.  
  • It is the sum of the lifetimes of all the individual nuclei divided by the total number of nuclei involved.  
  • Mean life is used to determine the total number of disintegrations or the emitted radiation.  
  • Emitted radiation is equal to the activity Ta.  
  • Mean life is longer than the half-life.

The relationship between the two is

\boxed{\bf  T_a=1.44\times T\frac{1}{2}}
