ChemistryChemistryDuring World War II, tritium ( 3 H) was a component of fluorescent watch dials and hands. Assume you have such a watch that was made in January 1944. If 17% or more of the original tritium was needed to read the dial in dark places, until what year could you read the time at night? (For 3 H, t 1/2 = 12.3 yr.)
