Answer:
Age ≅ 7500 years
Explanation:
All radioactive decay is 1st order kinetics and described by the expression
A = A₀e^-kt => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k
k = 0.693 / t(half life) = (0.693 / 5730)yrs⁻¹ = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ yrs⁻¹
t = Age = [ln(0.103/0.255) / - 1.21 x 10⁻⁴] yrs = 7500 years
Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having body center cubic and hexagonal closed packed structures. Twinning is said to occur when a portion of a crystal takes up an orientation that is related to the orientation of the untwinned lattice in a definite symmetrical manner.
