explain carbon dating in brief
Hi
Radiocarbon dating is a method to determine the age of any ancient object by using the properties of by using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive isotope of carbon.
It is based on the fact that radiocarbon is constantly being created in the atmosphere by the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen. The result is radiocarbon.
Radiocarbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form radioactive carbon dioxide, which is incorporated into plants by photosynthesis; animals then acquire it by eating the plants.
hello.
carbon dating is the method to determine the age or date of the organic matter from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-14 , which it contains. The ratio between them varies as carbon-14 decays and if it is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere.
Carbon dating can only be applied to organic and some inorganic materials. it is not applicable to metals.
there are three principles of carbon dating, namely gas proportional counting, liquid scintillation counting, and accelerator mass spectrometry.
example: the wooden archeological artifacts are an example of carbon dating.
thankyou
