Isotope dating
Isotopic dating - methods of dating samples, based on the phenomenon of radioactive decay, mainly used in geological and archaeological sciences. First developed by Willard Libby. The method is based on determining the ratio between the original content of the given radioisotope and the current content of that isotope in the sample. This proportion depends only on the time of disintegration. The methodological condition is to keep the system closed during the breakdown. The original content of the isotope is calculated by summing the product of its decay and the remainder of the unstacked radioisotope. Isotopic dates include: ▪ radiocarbon dates ▪ uranium dating ▪ potassium dating ▪ rubidium strontium dating ▪ lead dating ▪ reborn osmosis dating 1.0 1.0 1.2 1.2 1.3 Ryszard Szepke: 1000 words about atom and nuclear technology.
