Half Life Formula
Fraction remaining = (1/2)^n
Radioisotopes in Agriculture
preservation, destroy microorganism that cause food spoilage
Diagnostic Use of Radioisotopes
Radiotracers measure by a Geiger Counter, typically beta or gamma with low ionizing power
PET Scan
positron emission tomography, F-18 emits positrons that encounters electrons and form detectable gamma rays to track metabolic activity
Therapeutic Uses of Radioisotopes
Brachytherapy place radioisotope directly at tumor, Teletherapy use gamma radiation from Co-60 outside to penetrate inside, Radiopharmaceutical therapy use radioisotopes that concentrate in one area of the body
Avogadro’s Number
6.022 x 10^23
Carbon-14 Dating
Use the half life of Carbon-14 to determine the age of an artifact, only viable things less than 50,000 years old
