Problem 39E
Rates of Radioactive Decay (Section)
The cloth shroud from around a mummy is found to have a 14C activity of 9.7 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon as compared with living organisms that undergo 16.3 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. From the halflife for 14C decay, 5715 yr, calculate the age of the shroud.
