Wooden article and freshly cut tree show...

Wooden article and freshly cut tree show activity 7.6 and 15.2 `min""^(-1)g""^(-1)` of carbon (`t""_(1//2)=5760`year) respectively. The age of the article is a)5760 year b)`5760xx15.2/7.6year` c)`5760xx7.6/15.2year` d)`5760xx15.2-7.6year`

A

5760 years

B

`5760 xx (15.2)/(7.6)` years

C

`5760 xx (7.6)/(15.2)` years

D

`5760 xx (15.2 - 7.6)` years

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`r_0 = 15.2 and r = 7.6 , therefore ,t = (2.303)/(lambda) log (r_0)/(r)`
