an archaeological sample has only 25% as much C-14 as in a living sample.Knowing that the half life of C-14 is 5800 years,calculate the age of the sample

Question

Aman Bansal · Answer

Dear Sri,

The formula for calculating the age of sample is :

, $t = {1\over \lambda}\ln {A_o\over A_s}$

where Ao/As = 1/4(Since only 25% of living carbon content is left)

lemda = 0.693/5800(half life).

Best Of luck
