Answer:
0.56
Explanation:
From the formula;
0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (Ao/At)
t1/2 = half life of the C-14 = 5730 y
t = time elapsed = 4800 y
At = Activity of C-14 at time t
Ao= Activity of a living C-14 sample
0.693/5730 = 2.303/4800 log (Ao/At)
1.2 * 10^-4 = 4.8 * 10^-4 log (Ao/At)
log (Ao/At) = 1.2 * 10^-4/4.8 * 10^-4
log (Ao/At) = 0.25
Ao/At = Antilog (0.25)
Ao/At = 1.778
Hence;
At/Ao = (1.778)^-1
At/Ao = 0.56
Democritus believed that the universe was composed of atoms, correctly, of course. However, at the time, Plato's and Aristotle's hypothesi were just as valid because everyone was a philosopher. There were no scientists back then.
Acute radiation can be healed by developing cells (white blood cells) in the body. During Chronic radiation immense amount of energy is released into your body causing division and break down of cells which can cause cancer and internal bleeding and cannot be cured depending on the amount released.
