Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between decay rate and half-life?
- The decay rate r is the fraction lost each period; the half-life is the number of periods until only half remains. They are linked by tยฝ = log(0.5)/log(1โr).
- Does this assume continuous or discrete decay?
- This calculator uses discrete (period-by-period) decay. For continuous decay use A = Aโยทe^(โฮปt) with the half-life calculator.
