Radiocarbon Dating
All living things
contain Carbon 14.
When they die, the
C-14 begins to
decay. We can
determine how
long something
has been dead by
the amount of C-
14 left.
In 1940 a group of boys walking in the woods near the
village of Lascaux in France suddenly realized their dog
was missing. They soon found him in a hole too deep for
him to climb out. One of the boys was lowered into the
hole to rescue the dog and stumbled upon one of the
greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. What he
discovered was a cave whose walls were covered with
drawings of wild horses, cattle and a fierce-looking beast
resembling a modern bull. In addition, the cave contained
the charcoal remains of a small fire, and
from these remains scientists were able to
determine that the cave was occupied 15,000
years ago.
Charcoal left from the
logs contains Carbon-14
So assuming the paintings were made at the time of the
fire in the cave, they are approximately 15,000 years old.
By chemical analysis it has been determined that
the amount of C-14 remaining in the samples of
the Lascaux charcoal was 15% of the amount
such trees would contain when living. The half-
life of C-14 is approximately 5600 years.

The half-life of a radioactive element is the time it takes
for 1/2 the initial amount to decay.

Notice the k is positive this time
since this is exponential growth
instead of decay.
A culture of bacteria obeys the law of uninhibited
growth. If 500 bacteria are present initially and there are
800 after 1 hour, how many will be present in the culture
after 5 hours? How long is it until there are 20,000
bacteria?
