parent element

T = log e 2/λ ≒ 0.693/λ is called the half-life, and after this time the amount of a radioactive element will be half of what it was at first. If the amount of radioactive element (called the parent element) that was there at the beginning is N 0 , the amount after a certain amount of time has passed is N , and the amount of stable elements (called daughter elements) that are produced by radioactive decay of the parent element is D * , then after T hours N will have decreased to N 0 /2 and D * will become N 0 /2. After another T hours N will be N 0 /4 and D * will be (1 - N 0 /4). …

Japanese:

T=loge2/λ≒0.693/λを半減期といい,この時間たつと放射性元素の量は初めの1/2になる。初めにあった放射性元素(親元素parent elementと呼ぶ)の量をN0,ある時間が経過した後の量をN,親元素の放射性崩壊によってできる安定な元素(娘元素daughter elementと呼ぶ)の量をD*とすれば,T時間後にはNN0/2に減りD*N0/2となる。さらにT時間後にはNN0/4,D*は(1-N0/4)となる。…
