Basic laws of radioactive decay

The basic laws of radioactive decay reveal the regularities of radioactive decay. The exponential decay law describes the time-dependent change in the decay rate of radioactive materials. The half-life, the time required for a radioactive material to decay to half of its original quantity, is an important indicator for assessing the hazard of radioactive materials. Radioactive elements gradually decay into stable elements through decay chains, a process that follows the law of conservation of mass and energy. Additionally, there are various types of decay, including α-decay, β-decay, γ-decay, etc., each with its unique characteristics and mechanisms. These basic laws provide a solid theoretical foundation for our in-depth understanding and application of radioactive decay.
