._(19)^(49)K isotope of potassium has a half-life of 1.4 xx10^(9) yr and decays to form stable argon, ._(18)^(40)Ar . A sample of rock has been taken which contains both potassium and argon in the ratio 1:7 , i.e., ("Number of potassium -14 atoms")/("Number of argon -40 atoms")=(1)/(2) Assuming that when the rock was fromed no argon -40 was present in the sample and none has escaped subssequently, determine the age of the rock.
