It almost seems a self-evident statement: Any decay that’s possible will happen! What makes it possible? What sort of conditions must be satisfied? Total charge q conserved. J conserved.
Tunneling finite (but small) probability of being found outside the nucleus at any time Nuclear potential Coulomb potential always some probability of a piece of the nucleus escaping the nuclear potential with a STATIC POTENTIAL this probability is CONSTANT!
probability of decaying (at any time - now or later) = constant ? ? What’s this mean equally likely at any instant ? ? must be expressed as a probability per unit time If we observe one, isolated nucleus it is equally likely it decays this moment t as any other moment t (even years from now) It either decays or it doesn’t.
Suppose a given particle has a 0. 01 probability of decaying in any given sec. Does this mean if we wait 100 sec it will definitely have decayed? If we observe a large sample N of such particles, within 1 sec how many can we expect to have decayed? Even a tiny speck of material can include well over trillions and trillions of atoms!
# decays N (counted by a geiger counter) the size of the sample studied t time interval of the measurement each decay represents a loss in the original number of radioactive particles fraction of particles lost Note: for 1 particle this must be interpreted as the probability of decaying. This argues that: -constant this is what the means!
If events occur randomly in time, (like the decay of a nucleus) the probability that the next event occurs during the very next second is as likely as it not occurring until 10 seconds from now. T) True. F) False.
P(1) Probability of the first count occurring in in 1 st second P(10) Probability of the first count occurring in in 10 th second i. e. , it won’t happen until the 10 th second ? ? ? P(1) = ? ? ? P(10) P(1000) P(10000)
Imagine flipping a coin until you get a head. Is the probability of needing to flip just once the same as the probability of needing to flip 10 times? Probability of a head on your 1 st try, P(1) = 1/2 Probability of 1 st head on your 2 nd try, P(2) = 1/4 Probability of 1 st head on your 3 rd try, P(3) = 1/8 Probability of 1 st head on your 10 th try, P(10) = (1/2)10 = 1/1024
What is the total probability of ALL OCCURRENCES? P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + • • • =1/2+ 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + • • •
A six-sided die is rolled repeatedly until it gives a 6. What is the probability that one roll is enough? 1/6 What is the probability that it will take exactly 2 rolls? (probability of miss, 1 st try) (probability of hit)= What is the probability that exactly 3 rolls will be needed?
imagine the probability of decaying within any single second is p = 0. 10 the probability of surviving that same single second is p = 0. 90 P(N) probability that it decays in the Nth second (but not the preceeding N-1 seconds) P(1) P(2) P(3) P(4) P(5) P(6) P(7) P(8) P(9) = 0. 10 = = 0. 902 0. 10 = = 0. 903 0. 10 = = 0. 904 0. 10 = = 0. 905 0. 10 = = 0. 906 0. 10 = = 0. 907 0. 10 = = 0. 908 0. 10 =
Probability of living to time t=N sec, but decaying in the next second (1 -p)Np Probability of decaying instantly (t=0) is? 0 Probability of living forever (t ) is? 0
We can calculated an “average” lifetime from S (N sec)×P(N) N=1 (1 sec)×P(1)= (2 sec)×P(2)= (3 sec)×P(3)= (4 sec)×P(4)= (5 sec)×P(5)= sum=3. 026431 sum=8. 3043 sum=9. 690773 sum=6. 082530 sum=9. 260956 sum=9. 874209
the probability of decaying within any single second p = 0. 10 = 1/ where of course is the average lifetime (which in this example was 10, remember? )
The probability that the particle has decayed after waiting N seconds must be cumulative, i. e. Probability has decayed after 2 seconds: P(1)+P(2) after 3 seconds: P(1)+P(2)+P(3) after 4 seconds: P(1)+P(2)+P(3)+P(4) P(1)= P(1)+P(2)+P(3)= P(1)+P(2)+P(3)+P(4)=
This exponential behavior can be summarized by the rules for our imagined sample of particles fraction surviving until time t fraction decaying by time where = 1/ t = e- t = (1 - e- t ) (and is the average lifetime)
or probability of surviving through to time t then decaying that moment (within t and t)
Number surviving Radioactive atoms What does stand for?
log. N time Number surviving Radioactive atoms
probability of still surviving by the time t # decaying within dt Notice: this varies with time! This is the number that survive until t but then decay within the interval t and t + dt Thus the probability of surviving until t but decaying within t and t + dt
the probability of surviving until t but decaying within t and t + dt If then gives the average “lifetime” 0 -0 = 1/
What is directly measured is a “disintegration rate” or ACTIVITY but only over some interval t of observation:
If t << then and i. e. , the Activity N and N(t) doesn’t vary noticeably Your measured count is just
