This laboratory experiment shows how to measure a quantity that students can not calculate in advance. It examines exponential growth, negative exponential and half-life. This physics experiment, designed for non-science majors, involves the activation of silver samples with a neutron source and measurement of the half-lives of the radioactive isotopes it produced.
