Aude,
Check the help files! This is very easy to do in Mathematica.
In[1]:=
?Erfc
"Erfc[z] gives the complementary error function erfc(z)."
In[2]:=
dg=5*^5
Out[2]=
500000
In[3]:=
root[l_?NumericQ]:=t/.FindRoot[Erfc[l /(4(dg t)^(1/2))] == 0.9, { t,
l^2/dg }]
In[4]:=
root[.2]
Out[4]=
\!\(6.332811503848235`*^-7\)
I'll leave it up to you to figure out how to plot this function.
