Can i get an explanation for Q6 answer?
As the definition for half-life is the time take for the acitivity of the radioactive material to be reduce by half.
So if original was “1”, after 5600 years it will be 1/2. So after another cycle of 5600 years, it will reduce by half again so 1/2 divided by 2 is 1/4. So the time taken is 5600+5600=11200 years.
