Problem

A pure sample initially contains 1.0×10121.0\times10^{12} nuclei of a parent nuclide P (half-life T1/2=10 dT_{1/2}=10\,\text{d}) and none of its radioactive daughter D (half-life T1/2=1 dT_{1/2}=1\,\text{d}). Calculate the activity of D after 2 d2\,\text{d}. (Take ln⁡2=0.693\ln2=0.693.) a) 1.0×106 Bq1.0\times10^{6}\,\text{Bq} b) 7.0×105 Bq7.0\times10^{5}\,\text{Bq} c) 5.5×105 Bq5.5\times10^{5}\,\text{Bq} d) 4.5×105 Bq4.5\times10^{5}\,\text{Bq}
