Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive dating works on the principle that a radioactive isotope can decay into the stable daughter nuclei at a constant rate. Geologist generally use the principle for half life. Half life is the time required for half of the radioactive substance to decay. This is constant for a particular element.
