The decay factor is the decay constant subtracted from 1.
The decay factor is (c) [tex]0.87[/tex]
We have:
[tex]T_\frac{1}{2} = 5.26[/tex]
First, we calculate the decay constant [tex](\lambda)[/tex]
This is calculated using
[tex]\lambda = \frac{0.693}{T_\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\lambda = \frac{0.693}{5.26}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = 0.13175[/tex]
Next, we calculate the decay factor (b) using:
[tex]b =1 - \lambda[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]b =1 - 0.13175[/tex]
[tex]b =0.86825[/tex]
Approximate to 2 decimal places
[tex]b =0.87[/tex]
Hence, the decay factor is (c) [tex]0.87[/tex]
