Nedir Half Life Calculator?

▾

Half-life is the time required for half of a substance to undergo decay or be eliminated. It applies to radioactive decay, drug metabolism, and chemical reactions. After n half-lives, the remaining fraction is (1/2)ⁿ.

Nasıl Half Life Calculator

▾

1Remaining quantity: N(t) = N₀ × (1/2)^(t/t½)
2N₀ = initial amount, t = elapsed time, t½ = half-life
3Equivalently: N(t) = N₀ × e^(−λt) where λ = ln(2)/t½
4After 10 half-lives: only ~0.1% of the original remains

Çözümlü Örnekler

▾

Örnek 1

Verilen:Carbon-14 (t½=5,730yr), 1,000 atoms, 11,460 years

Sonuç:250 atoms remaining

2 half-lives: 1000→500→250

Örnek 2

Verilen:Drug half-life 8 hours, dose 500mg, after 24 hours

Sonuç:62.5 mg remaining

3 half-lives: 500→250→125→62.5

Notable Half-Lives

▾

Substance	Half-life	Application
Carbon-14	5,730 years	Archaeological dating
Uranium-238	4.47 billion years	Geological dating
Iodine-131	8.02 days	Medical imaging / therapy
Caffeine (in body)	5–6 hours	Drug metabolism
Alcohol	~1 drink/hour	BAC reduction
Aspirin	15–20 minutes	Drug metabolism

Uzman İpucu

In medicine, it takes about 4–5 half-lives for a drug to reach steady state in the body, and 4–5 half-lives to be substantially eliminated. This guides dosing frequency.

Biliyor muydunuz?

Radiocarbon dating (carbon-14) can only date materials up to ~50,000 years old — about 9 half-lives. Beyond that, too little C-14 remains to measure accurately. For older materials, potassium-40 (half-life 1.25 billion years) is used.
