The half life of the sample will be "4 days".
According to the question,
Let,
- The number of half life = n
→ [tex]\frac{N}{N_o} = (\frac{1}{2} )^n[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
→ [tex]\frac{2}{128} = (\frac{1}{2} )^n[/tex]
→ [tex]\frac{1}{64} = (\frac{1}{2} )^n[/tex]
→ [tex](\frac{1}{2} )^6= (\frac{1}{2} )^n[/tex]
→ [tex]n=6[/tex]
So,
It takes 6 half life just to reduce from 128 mg - 2mg which is also "24 days".
→ [tex]6 \ half \ life = 24 \ days[/tex]
Hence,
→ [tex]Half \ life = \frac{24}{6}[/tex]
[tex]= 4 \ days[/tex]
Thus the answer above is right.
