Question
Chapter 20, Problem 116RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The age of the sample of wood is to be calculated based on its carbon-14 content.
Concept Introduction:
The nuclei which are heavy and unstable undergo the process of decay and lose their counter parts in order to gain stability. This process is known as radioactive decay or radioactivity.
The radioactive decay of nucleus always follows first order kinetics.
