What is Radioactive Decay Law Lab Guide about?

This lab experiment aims to understand radioactive decay through simulation. Students simulate the decay of a radioactive sample over time and track the number of undecayed atoms at 0.5 second intervals for 3 seconds. Plotting the results on linear and semi-log graphs, they determine the half-life is close to the theoretical value of 1 second. By taking the natural log of the fraction of surviving atoms over time, students calculate the decay constant and verify it matches the theoretical equation relating
