In living things, the source of the carbon-14 that is used in radiocarbon dating is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Living things inhale oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is why the air and atmosphere are so full of it.

The formula for the wavelength of a massive particle is
λ = h/p
where
λ = wavelength
h = Plank constant (6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s)
p = momentum (mass times velocity)
So let's solve for momentum and from there get the mass
λ = h/p
λp = h
p = h/λ
Substitute known values and solve
p = 6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s/3.45Ă—10^-34 m
p = 1.92 J*s/m
Since momentum is the product of mass and velocity, we have
p = M * V
p/V = M
So substitute again, and solve.
p/V = M
1.92 J*s/m / 6.55 m/s = M
1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M
1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M
0.293 kg = M
So the mass is 293 grams</span>
