This is great. I studied as an archaeologist, working with thermoluminescent dating and C14 dating. For lack of a decent paying job (oh, how they love free labor!) I went into training in Medical Physics working as a Radiation Therapist. I really wish TH-cam had been invented back then (or the internet, for that matter!) and this had been there. I struggle finding Lambda no more! Of course, I'm a Chef now… but I still use physics every day! Convection, conduction, induction, thermodynamics...
It is the rate of decay, like depreciation. It is just the proportion of the total number of atoms that decay per second. Like a car, if the value is depreciated by 20% every year, the total value is decreased progressively. In that case we would say the "decay constant" for the car is 0.20 in units of "per year".
@@karhukivi thank uu it helped me a lot bcz i was asking ly self what is the meaning of lambda and it annoys me that i don't know the answer, now due to ur explaination i got it

Yes, it would have been great if the internet existed when I went to school
Sir Your work is commendable
You Clear every topic easily
Love And Respect from India
Thank You. That's a lovely comment.
Its Great To se You replied Sir :)
Great video! Thank you.
Amazing teacher!
Great! 😊
Thanks! 😊
youre the best!
lambda stands for "K" which is the reaction rate constant;
Thankyou
Sir,what is the real definition of decay constant

I just understood what you just thought
I need how to solve the same thing when there is a percentage %
Your videos are great but in these videos you should associated this with first order chemical kinetics
