Corbon 14 is used to determine the age of organic material. The procedure is based on the formation of `.^(14)C` by neutron capture in the upper atmosphere. `._(7) N^(14) +._(0)n^(1) rarr. _(6)C^(14)+._(1)H^(1)` `.^(14)C` is absorbed by living organisms during photosynthesis. The `.^(14)C ` in the dead being falls due to the decay which `C^(14)` undergoes. `._(6) C^(14) rarr ._(7)N ^(14) + ._(-1)e^(@)` The half life period of `.^(14)C` is 5770 year. The decay constant `(lambda)` can be calculated by using the following formula `lambda= (0.693)/(t_(t//2))` The comparison of the `beta^(-)` activity of the dead matter with that of carbon still in circulation enables measurement of the period of hte isolation of the material from the living cycle. The method however, ceases to be accurate over periods longer than 30,000 years. The proportion of `.^(14)C to ._(12)C` in living matter is `1 : 10^(12)` What should be the age of fossil for meaningful determination of its age ?A. 6 yearsB. 6000 yearsC. 60000 yearsD. it can be used to calculate any age
