| Aug 27, 2019 at 2:50 | comment | added | David White | Note that exponential decay is normally expressed in terms of its time constant, which is the time that it takes for 63% of the decay to take place (e.g., $1-e^{-1}$). Due to this, the standard solutions to this problem are not formulated as a function of half-life. Are you open to the idea of getting an answer in terms of time constant? | |
