Q3
A human body excretes (removes by waste discharge, sweating etc) certain materials by a law similar to radioactivity. If technetium is injected in some form in a human body, the body excretes half the amount in 24 hours. A patient is given an injection containing 99Tc. This isotope is radioactive with a half-life of 6 hours. The activity from the body just after the injection is 6μCi. How much time will elapse before the activity falls to 3μCi ?
