I was stressing before this but like within the first 30 second I understand everything. I like how you say what course it’s relevant to as well.

Are there any specific uses of radioactivity we must know? physics gcse (atomic structure, paper 1, topic4)

issab

short half-life means higher activity, the idea is to balance the dose and the activity/half-life so that it will just be measurable when you need it.

gaebup

how is short half life good tho?eg if it has a half life of 1 day, then it was emit radiation for one day and after that, it will emit for another one day ?Or do you remove the radiation after it has been one day ? pls reply
