question 105

Essay

Following equation is used in carbon dating of the artefacts:
N = × where,
N = Decay rate of the artefact,expressed as disintegrations per minute (dpm) = Decay rate of natural carbon = 14 dpm
τ = Mean life time = = = 8267 years
t = Age of the artefact
Calculate the age of the artefact,if the decay rate of the artefact is measured as 4 dpm
