In this video I show you how to find how to find decay rate given half life and vise versa how to find half life of a material given decay rate. To make you understand I have shown two problems.
1. finding decay rate of a material with half life of 460 years.
2. Finding half life of a material if it has a decay rate of 1% (.01) per year.
The formula we use to do that calculation is
y(t) = y_0 e^(kt)

#half_life
#decay_rate
