===About Decay Curve===
===Formula===
<math>𝑁(𝑡)=𝑁_02^{−𝑡/𝑡_{1/2}}</math>
Where:
𝑁(𝑡) is the number of undecayed [[Atomic Nucleus|nuclei]] at [[time]] (𝑡)
𝑁<sub>0</sub> is the initial number of [[Atomic Nucleus|nuclei]]
𝜆 is the [[Decay Constant|decay constant]] for the [[isotope]].
t<sub>1/2</sub> is the [[Half Life|half-life]] of a given [[isotope]]
===Examples===
*The [[Decay (Physics)|decay]] curve of [[Uranium-238 ]] showing its decrease over millions of years.*Monitoring the [[Decay (Physics)|decay]] curve of medical isotopes to ensure they remain effective for treatment.
