The law of radioactive decay is n(t) = n0e-λt, where n0 is the number of radioactive nuclei at t = 0, n(t) is the number remaining at time t, and λ is a quantity known as the decay constant. what is the dimension of λ? (t = time)

The units of lambda (λ) would be the reciprocal of the units that are used for half life.

For example, if the half life is in days, then the units of λ are 1/days.

If the units of half life are years, then the units of λ are 1/years.
