Geologists determine half-life as radioactive elements get trapped in rock and break down over time.
Explanation:
- Radioactive dating was calculating using formula.
- The formula is log F = (N/H)log(1/2) where, F = fraction remaining, N = number of years and H = half life.
- To determine the fraction still remaining, we must know both the amount now present and also the amount present when the mineral was formed.
- The examples of radioactive dating is elements of carbon, uranium and potassium.
- Each element is made up of atoms and within each atom is a central particle called a nucleus.
- The neutrons and protons are presents with in the nucleus.
- But now a days the scientists are just focus on the neutrons.
- Radioactive dating otherwise known as radiometric dating.
