Chapter 20, Problem 15E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

“Technique of radiocarbon dating band how it corrected for the changes in atmospheric concentrations of C-14 and ages” should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Method for measuring the age of organic remains which depends on the decay rate of carbon 14 is said to be Radiocarbon dating. Carbon 14 is the radioactive isotope of carbon having 6 protons and 8 neutrons in the atomic nucleus. The radioactive C-14 nuclide can be represented as 6C14. The age of any specimen with organic content like fossil, plants, dead bodies, etc. can be determined by radiocarbon dating.

Radiocarbon dating is a technique for calculating the age of organic matter that left is depends on the rate of decay of carbon 14. Carbon 14 is the radioactive isotope of carbon having 6 protons and 8 neutrons in the atomic nucleus. The radioactive C-14 nuclide can be represented as 6C14. The age of any specimen with organic content like fossil, plants, dead bodies, etc. can be determined by radiocarbon dating.
