A radioactive half-life refers to the amount of time it takes for half of the original isotope to decay. For example, if the half-life of a 50.0 gram sample is 3 years, then in 3 years only 25 grams would remain. During the next 3 years, 12.5 grams would remain and so on.
Nt = mass of radioactive material at time interval (t)
N0 = mass of the original amount of radioactive material
k = decay constant
t = time interval (t1/2 for the half-life)
