Name the radiation which is used in carbon dating.

Carbon-14 is an example of ________ dating.A.incrementalB.varveC.radioactiveD.correlative

Explain how the process of carbon dating works, and then justify why you could or could not use it in this case.

What is carbon dating?A technique which allows for the age of inorganic (non-living) matter to be determinedA technique which allows for the age of dead organic matter to be determinedA technique which allows for the age of a carbon atom to be determinedA technique which allows for the age of living organic matter to be determined2An ancient wooden bowl contains 120,000 million carbon-14 atoms.  A modern bowl (which has been made from the same type of wood and has the same mass) contains 480,000 million carbon-14 atoms.  The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,700 years.  Use this information to estimate the age of the ancient bowl.2,850 years11,400 years5,700 years22,800 years3Carbon-14 undergoes beta (minus) decay to form nitrogen-14.  Carbon-14 contains 6 protons in its nucleus.  Calculate the number of protons in the nucleus of nitrogen-14.67584What is a radioactive tracer (as used in medicine)?A device which is used to determine which types of radioactive substances are suitable for use in medicineA radioactive material which is attached to a chemical which is naturally absorbed by the part of the body which is being investigatedA radioactive substance which is used for the treatment of cancerA radioactive material which decays outside the body to release gamma rays which then pass through the body and provide information on its structure5Which of the following would be suitable for use as a medical (radioactive) tracer?An alpha emitter with a half-life of 6 yearsAn alpha emitter with a half-life of 6 hoursA gamma emitter with a half-life of 6 hoursA gamma emitter with a half-life of 6 years6Which of the following types of radioactive sources is used within a smoke detector?AlphaBeta minusGammaBeta plus
