Description
A cap-able set of dice to simulate random nuclear decay! Each dice represents a single atom which can undergo nuclear fission or fusion. Whenever you spin the dice, it represents one year going by and the atom having a random chance of decaying.
Experiment Procedure:
- Set your nuclear decay constant (λ) to a number from 1 to 6
- Open all the dice caps & spin the dice
- If the number on the dice is smaller or equal to λ, close the cap
- Count the number of dice left & document them on a table
- Repeat steps 2 to 4 to simulate atoms randomly and spontaneously decaying!
* Works best with more than 10 dice
Here is an example result using 100 dice, λ = 2
| Number of times dice were rolled (t) | Number of dice left uncapped (N) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 100 |
| 1 | 67 |
| 2 | 44 |
| 3 | 32 |
| 4 | 20 |
| 5 | 15 |
| 6 | 10 |
