1. The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. A sample is found to have one-eighth the original amount of carbon-14 in it. How old is the sample? 5730 years, 716 years, 45800 years, 17200 years 2. Why wouldn't you use carbon-14 dating on a piece of shell that was estimated to be 1 million years old? Sea shells do not have radioisotopes, carbon dating is only useful on plants, uranium dating is better for items older than 1/2 million years,...

Background (Part 1): We are continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from natural and artificial sources. All of us are exposed to radiation every day, from natural sources such as minerals in the ground and cosmic radiation to man-made sources such as medical x-rays. According to the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), the average annual radiation dose per person in the U.S. is 620 millirem. In this activity, you will use the interactive online dose calculator to estimate...
