Answer: 4282.928 = 4283 years
Explanation:
Data given;
Carbon 14 half life = 5740
No (initial radiation) = 0.230 Bq/g
Nf (final radiation) = 0.137 Bq/g
First we find the decimal fraction of the remaining half life of the carbon 14
k = No / Nf
k = (0.137 / 0.230) = 0.595652
So to find how many half-life has elapsed, we say
(1/2)^n = k
(1/2) ^n = 0.595652
Therefore
n log 0.5 = log 0.595652
n = ( log 0.595652) / ( log 0.5)
n = 0.747457
To get the elapsed time or how old the sample is;
We say
Carbon 14 half-life × n
5730 yrs × 0.747457
= 4282.928
= 4283 years.
So the sample of the wood is 4283 years old.
I think A makes the most sense..
Microscopes have been used for centuries in order to see specimen scientists cannot see with their unaided eye. Antón VanLeeonhoeuk is given credit for designing the first lenses for microscopes in the 16th century. He looked at “animacules” which we would now call bacteria and protists. Robert Hooke first coined the term cell, as he looked at cork and thought it looked like cells that monks slept in. Improvements were made in the following centuries, and Ernest Leintz in the 1800s creates a way to have differing magnification lenses on one microscope. Continuing into the 1900s and 2000s there are now electron scanning microscopes, ultraviolet microscopes, atomic force microscopes, and electron tunneling microscopes—all which allow scientists to have better resolution and to see smaller and smaller things. Microscope technology will continue to improve as scientists discover more ways to magnify the microscopic world.
