Isotope A is radioactive and decays to isotope B which is also radioactive and decays to C. Isotope C is stable. The half life of A is 1.0 days. The half life of B is 2.0 days. Assume that at time zero there were 1000 atoms of A, zero atoms of B and zero atoms of C. After 4.0 days:.
a. How many atoms of A remain and what is the activity of A?
b. How many atoms of B exist and what is the activity of B?
Refer to Section 2.9, Radioactivity Calculations
