PROGRAM Radioactive_Decay !---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! This program calculates the amount of a radioactive substance that ! remains after a specified time, given an initial amount and its ! half-life. Variables used are: ! InitalAmount : initial amount of substance (mg) ! HalfLife : half-life of substance (days) ! Time : time at which the amount remaining is calculated (days) ! AmountRemaining : amount of substance remaining (mg) ! ! Input: InitialAmount, HalfLife, Time ! Output: AmountRemaining !----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPLICIT NONE REAL :: InitialAmount, HalfLife, Time, AmountRemaining ! Get values for InitialAmount, HalfLife, and Time. PRINT *, "Enter initial amount (mg) of substance, its half-life (days)" PRINT *, "and time (days) at which to find amount remaining:" READ *, InitialAmount, HalfLife, Time ! Compute the amount remaining at the specified time. AmountRemaining = InitialAmount * 0.5 ** (Time / HalfLife) ! Display AmountRemaining. PRINT *, "Amount remaining =", AmountRemaining, "mg" STOP END PROGRAM Radioactive_Decay
