After a plant or animal dies the 14C content decreases with a half-life of 5730 years. If an archaeologist finds an ancient fire
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

Explanation:

Given data

plant or animal dies = 14C

time period = 5730 year

carbon = 15.5%

to find out

age (in years) of the ancient site

solution

we know that Final value = Initial value  × 0.5^{n}

here n is half life passed

so for 15.5%

15.5% = 100% of  0.5^{n}

0.155 = 1 × 0.5^{n}

now take log both side

log 0.155 = log  0.5^{n}

n = log 0.155 / log 0.5

n = 2.68966

we know here  5730 years in half life

so for 2.68966 half-lives = 2.68966 × 5730  =  15411.7518

age of the site is 15411.75 years old
