What is a half-life? A) It is the time it takes for 1/2 of the material to decompose. B) It is the time needed until 1/2 of the radiation is gone. C) It is the time it takes for 1/2 of the material to undergo radioactive decay. D) It is half of the lifetime of the radioactivity in a sample. E) All of the above.

Define the half-life t₁/₂ and the characteristic decay time τ of a radioactive isotope and state the relationship between them. Sketch a fully-labelled diagram to show how the radioactivity of the carbon in a sample of fresh biomatter with 238 Bqkg−1 will vary with time (the C-14 half-life is 5730 years).
