Answer:

Explanation: Radioactive isotopes are unstable and will decay. For example, when humans die carbon-14 decays. ... Scientists can tell how old the rock was from looking at the radioactive isotope's half-life, which tells them how long it would take for there to be half the radioactive isotope and half the stable isotope

The period of the rock is 4.7 years old

Explanation:

  • Radioactive isotope, also termed radioisotope, or radioactive nuclide, any of numerous species of the equivalent synthetic component with various quantities whose nuclei are variable and consume excess power by directly emitting radioactivity in the sort of alpha, beta, and gamma rays.
  • Radioactive isotopes have several valuable purposes. In medication, for example, cobalt-60 is widely used as a transmission source to restrict the progress of cancer.
  • Other dangerous isotopes are employed as tracers for symptomatic ideas as well as in analysis on metabolic processes.

6X10=60\\\frac{60}{14}=4.7
