Chapter , Problem 51(choose chapter or problem)
When any radioactive dating method is used, experimental error in the measurement of the samples activity leads to error in the estimated age. In an application of the radiocarbon dating technique to certain fossils, an activity of 0.100 Bq per gram of carbon is measured to within an accuracy of 610.0%. Find the age of the fossils and the maximum error (in years) in the value obtained. Assume that there is no error in the 5730-year half-life of 14 6 C nor in the value of 0.23 Bq per gram of carbon in a living organism.
