Half-Life Simulation Practical

Aim:

The aim of this practical is to use dice to model the process of radioactivity decay and to discover any relationships that might exist. I also want to find out the half-life of an element.

Results:

Conclusion:

In conclusion I have discovered that by using dice it can actually model the process of radioactivity decay and that there are actually relations between the use of dice and actual decay of a substance. This is because the number of dice I “take out” from the first few shakes takes out more than half of the dice in the box. Later on, the number of dice is taken out in a smaller number and it eventually gets to zero. This is because when we do the experiment with dice, it is impossible to get to infinite because we can’t ...
