Half-life is described as the length of time it takes for the activity of a radionuclide to decrease by decay to half of its initial value. Symbol of half life is t1⁄2. This term is used in nuclear physics to show how long stable atoms survive or how quickly unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay.
