Carbon–14 is used to determine the age of organic material. The procedure is based on the formation
of 14C by neutron capture in the upper atmosphere.
14
7
N + 0n1 → 146C + 1H1
14
C is absorbed by living organisms during photosynthesis. The 14C content is constant in living organ-
ism once the plant or animal dies, the uptake of carbon dioxide by it ceases and the level of 14C in the
dead being, falls due to the decay which C14 undergoes
14

C → 14
N + β−
7

The half life period of 14C is 5770 years. The decay constant ( λ ) can be calculated by using the
0.693
following formula λ =
t1 / 2
The comparison of the β − activity of the dead matter with that of the carbon still in circulation enables
measurement of the period of the isolation of the material from the living cycle. The method however,
ceases to be accurate over periods longer than 30,000 years. The proportion of 14C to 12C in living
matter is 1 : 1012.

24. Which of the following option is correct?

(a) In living organisms, circulation of 14C from atmosphere is high so the carbon content is constant in
organism
(b) Carbon dating can be used to find out the age of earth crust and rocks
(c) Radioactive absorption due to cosmic radiation is equal to the rate of radioactive decay, hence the
carbon content remains constant in living organism
(d) Carbon dating can not be used to determine concentration of 14C in dead beings.
Sol. (c)

25. What should be the age of fossil for meaningful determination of its age?
(a) 6 years (b) 6000 years
(c) 60,000 years (d) It can be used to calculate any age
Sol. (b)

26. A nuclear explosion has taken place leading to increase in concentration of C14 in nearby areas. C14
concentration is C1 in nearby areas and C2 in areas far away. If the age of the fossil is determined to be
T1 and T2 at the places respectively then
(a) The age of the fossil will increase at the place where explosion has taken place and
1 C1
T1 – T2 = ln

(b) The age of the fossil will decrease at the place where explosion has taken place and
