The decay constant can be calculated using the formula:

λ = (ln(N0/Nt))/t

Where:

λ = decay constant
N0 = initial activity
Nt = final activity
t = time interval

Substituting the given values:

N0 = 2000 Bq
Nt = 1000 Bq
t = 10^6 sec

λ = (ln(2000/1000))/10^6
λ = 6.93 x 10^-7 s^-1

Therefore, the decay constant is 6.93 x 10^-7 s^-1.
