Reference no: EM13306843

A sample has a activity of 0.0021 Bq per gram of carbon.

(a) Find the age of the sample, assuming that the activity per gram of carbon in a living organism has been constant at a value of 0.23 Bq.

(b) Evidence suggests that the value of 0.23 Bq might have been as much as 24% larger. Repeat part (a), taking into account this 24% increase.
