Answer:
Explanation:
count given by old sample = .97 disintegrations per minute per gram
count given by fresh sample = 6.68 disintegrations per minute per gram
Half life of radioactive carbon = 5568 years
rate of disintegration
dN / dt = λ N
In other words rate of disintegration is proportional to no of radioactive atoms present . As number reduces rate also reduces .
Let initial no of radioactive be N₀ and after time t , number reduces to N
N₀ / N = 6.68 / .97
Now
λ is disintegration constant
λ = .693 / half life
= .693 / 5568
= .00012446 year⁻¹
Putting the values in the equation above
1.929577 = .00012446 t
t = 15503.6 years .
