In the equation above, a represents the number of starting unstable atoms, 0.5
represents a loss of 50% of the current unstable atoms, t 1 / 2 represents a half-life
time (usually in seconds, days, weeks, months or years), and t represents the total
time passed.
For example, t t 1 / 2 = 9   d a y s 3   d a y s represents a 3-day half-life passing three times.
