Question

Having studied the data for patterns and trends, you should now be able to draw

some conclusions about how knowing the half-life of the element Lokium would
help you determine the absolute age of rock in which this element is found. In a
paragraph, create an imaginary example of finding a given amount of Lokium and
DOL in a rock, and then determining the absolute age of that rock. Assume that
each trial represents 1,000 years

Answer 1

The situation given here is imaginary such that the life of Rock has to be found using the half-life of the element lokium that has been found inside the rock.

Half-life of any material is the amount of time taken by that particular material to decay. Now the amount of lokium found in rock can show after how many half-lives this amount has been left out.

The time elapsed will be log (L) atoms X half-life.
