Assuming the dating procedures were accurate, what is the half-life of radium?57PS 58PS HISTORICAL QUEST The Shroud of Turin see Figure 10.5 is a rectangular linen cloth kept in the Chapel of the Holy Shroud in the cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy. It shows the image of a man whose wounds correspond with the biblical accounts of the crucifixion. In 1389 Pierre dArcis, the Bishop of Troyes, wrote a memo to the Pope, accusing a colleague of passing off a certain cloth, cunningly painted as the burial shroud of Jesus Christ. Despite this early testimony of forgery, the so-called Shroud of Turin has survived as a famous relic. In 1988 a small sample of the Shroud of Turin was taken, and scientists from Oxford University, the University of Arizona, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology were permitted to test it. It was determined that 92.3 of the Shrouds original 14C still remained. According to this information, how old was the Shroud in 1988? Figure 10.5 Shroud of Turin 60PS 1CR 2CR 3CR 4CR 5CR
