About this document
Radioactivity Simulation Using Coins by khesani.desuza is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document outlines a coin toss simulation to demonstrate the random nature of radioactive decay and estimate half-life. Using 100 identical coins, participants toss the coins, removing those that land on heads to represent decayed atoms, and repeat the process to observe the decrease in undecayed atoms. The results illustrate that while decay is random for individual atoms, it follows a predictable pattern in aggregate, allowing for the estimation of half-life.
