| 1. | The units of the decay constant are s " 1.
|
| 2. | Particular radionuclides decay at different rates, so each has its own decay constant.
|
| 3. | The notation ? for the decay constant is a remnant of the usual notation for an eigenvalue.
|
| 4. | If we had enough information to calculate the decay constant, we could narrow down some more.
|
| 5. | The decay constant is a function of the material's relative dielectric constant and its bulk resistivity.
|
| 6. | Any one of decay constant, mean lifetime, or half-life is sufficient to characterise the decay.
|
| 7. | The half-life can be written in terms of the decay constant, or the mean lifetime, as:
|
| 8. | For an empty cavity, the decay constant is dependent on mirror loss and various optical phenomena like scattering and refraction:
|
| 9. | For sufficiently large deviations of \ omega _ { p }, the decay constant \ alpha can become purely imaginary since
|
| 10. | The THz response also contains \ gamma ( \ omega ) that stems from the decay constant of macroscopic THz currents.
