FAQ

What is the Decay Constant?
Decay Constant is a measure of the rate at which unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay, emitting ionizing radiation, and is a fundamental concept in nuclear physics and chemistry. Decay Constant is usually measured using the Hertz for Frequency. Note that the value of Decay Constant is always negative.
Can the Decay Constant be negative?
Yes, the Decay Constant, measured in Frequency can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Decay Constant?
Decay Constant is usually measured using the Hertz[Hz] for Frequency. Petahertz[Hz], Terahertz[Hz], Gigahertz[Hz] are the few other units in which Decay Constant can be measured.
