The half-life is the time it takes for half of a radioactive sample to decay, and it sets the pace of the whole process through N = N₀ × (½)^(t / t½), where N₀ is the starting amount, t is the elapsed time and t½ is the half-life. After one half-life half the material remains, after two a quarter, after three an eighth, and so on — the amount never quite reaches zero but halves with every t½ that passes. Choose what to solve for: the amount left after a given time, the time needed to fall to a given amount, or the half-life itself inferred from a measured decay.
As a worked example, carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years, so a sample that starts with 100 units of C-14 falls to 100 × (½)^(2000 / 5730) ≈ 78.5 units after 2,000 years. The calculator also reports the decay constant λ = ln2 / t½ ≈ 0.693 / t½ (the probability a given atom decays per unit time) and the mean lifetime τ = 1 / λ = t½ / ln2, which is about 1.44 half-lives — the average time an individual atom survives — and plots the decay curve.
Because the maths is scale-free, the time and the half-life only need to share the same unit — years, days, seconds or hours — and the initial and remaining amounts can be in grams, atom counts, becquerels or any consistent measure. This makes the tool equally at home with radiocarbon and radiometric dating, medical isotope dosing, nuclear-waste decay planning and any first-order exponential decay, including some drug-elimination and discharge problems that follow the same half-life mathematics.

The amount left after time t is N = N₀ × (½)^(t/t½). After one half-life half remains, after two a quarter, after three an eighth, and so on.

The decay constant is λ = ln2 / t½ ≈ 0.693 / t½, the probability of decay per unit time. The mean lifetime τ = 1 / λ = t½ / ln2 is the average time an atom survives — about 1.44 half-lives.
Ń lè rí ìgbà kejì láti inú àwọn ìṣàmúlò-ètò mejì?
Yes. Set "solve for" to half-life and enter the initial and remaining amounts plus the elapsed time; the tool solves t½ = t × ln2 / ln(N₀/N).
Bawo ni a ṣe le ṣe asiko carbon-14 kan ni ibatan si igbesi aye?
Carbon-14 decays with a half-life of 5,730 years, so measuring how much C-14 is left in a once-living sample dates it. From 100 units, about 78.5 remain after 2,000 years, and roughly half after 5,730 — the basis of radiocarbon dating.
Àwọn àwọn ìtàn wo ní àwọn àkókò àti àwọn ìtàn-àwọ̀n náà lo?
Any unit, as long as the elapsed time and the half-life share it. Enter both in years, or both in seconds; the ratio t / t½ is all that matters, and the results come back in that same unit.
