Determine the age of the artifact

Reference no: EM13716676

Problem- A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 30.7 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts per minute for a standard of zero age. From the half-life for 14C decay, 5715 yr, determine the age of the artifact. Years
