Suppose that a radioactive material that emits alpha particles has a concentration of 1 million atoms/cm3 . If the radioactive decay constant for this material is 0.0001/second, how many atoms of this material will emit alpha particles after one second if the total volume of the material is 10 cm3 ? What is the rate of decay sometimes called?
