A piece of wood was found to have `C^(14)//C^(12)` ratio 0.6 times that in a living plant. Calculate that in a living plant. Calculate the period when the plant died. (Half life of `C^(14) = 5760` years)? |

Answer» We know that `t = (2.303 xx t_(1//2))/(0.693) "log" (N_(0))/(N)` So `t = (2.303 xx 5760)/(0.693) "log" (1)/(0.6)` `= (2.303 xx 5760)/(0.693) xx 0.2201` `= 4213 "years"` |
