Question

Radiocarbon is produced in the atmosphere as a result of

A.collision between fast neutrons and nitrogen nuclei present in the atmosphere
B.action of ultraviolet light from the sun on atmospheric oxygen
C.action of solar radiations particularly cosmic rays on carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere
D.lightning discharge in atmosphere

Answer 1

Natural production. Most of the radiocarbon found on earth is formed naturally in the upper atmosphere. High-energy cosmic rays (from outside the solar system) are constantly bombarding the upper atmosphere. These high-energy particles undergo a whole cascade of nuclear reactions resulting in some slow moving neutrons....
