Kisachek [45]3 years ago

Answer:

The age of material

Explanation:

Radiocarbon dating is the method which is used to determine age of object that contains organic material by using properties of radiocarbon (¹⁴C).

The ¹⁴C in form of radioactive carbon dioxide formed in the atmosphere is incorporated into the plants by photosynthesis and also animals acquire ¹⁴C by eating these plants.

When a animal or a plant dies, they stops exchanging the carbon with environment and that point onward, the amount of ¹⁴C present in the body of them, begins to decrease as it  undergoes radioactive decay.

<u>Measuring amount of ¹⁴C can be used to calculate when the animal or the plant died. Hence, it is used to determine the age of the material.</u>
