An investigator collects a sample of a radioactive isotope with an activity of 490,000 Bq.48 hours later, the activity is 110,000 Bq. Part A For the steps and strategies involved in solving a similar problem, you may view a Video Tutor Solution What is the half-life of the sample?

The correct answer is "22.27 hours".

Explanation:

Given that:

Radioactive isotope activity,

= 490,000 Bq

Activity,

= 110,000 Bq

Time,

= 48 hours
