Question

In age determination by tracer technique
the isotope used is​

Answer 1

Answer:

These age-dating tracers can help water-resource managers to develop management strategies for shallow groundwater systems that contain mostly young groundwater. ... Carbon-14 or radiocarbon is the most common method used to determine groundwater ages between 1,000 and 30,000 years.

Explanation:

I hope it'll help you ✌️

Answer 2

Carbon-14 is used as the isotope for age determination by the tracer technique.

• Isotopic age determination is a precise technique used to accurately measure and estimate the bioavailability, bioconversion, and bioefficacy of dietary carotenoids in humans.
• Carbon - 14 or radiocarbon is the most common tracer element used to determine the age of groundwater which ages from 1000 to 30,000 years.
• Old groundwaters referred to the waters that entered the aquifers 1000 years before.
• There are many common and rare isotopes which are produced naturally during lightning and solar radiation their presence helps in determining the age of the groundwater.
• The use of carbon - 14 for age determination is called radiocarbon dating which provides an objective idea about the origination of the carbon-based material.
• Its mechanism of action is very simple every living being is composed of carbon and also absorbs some amount of radioactive carbon after they die they stop absorbing but the radioactive carbon trapped inside starts to decay with the passage of time.
