Carbon 14 dating method is based on the fact that

A

carbon 14 fraction is same in all objects

B

carbon 14 is hightly insoluble

C

ratio of carbon 14 and carbon 12 constant

D

All of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

By carbon dating method
Age of wood =`(2.303)/(0.693)xxT_(0.5) log(N_(0))/(N)`
Where , `(N_(0))/(N)=[("Ratio of" C^(14)//C^(12)"in living wood")/("Ratio of" C^(14)//C^(12) "in dead wood")]`
Hence it based upon the ratio of `C^(14)` and `C^(12)`
