Carbon dating.

Answer 2 OOPs wrong, as the half life of C14 is 5730 years.

Off hand I can't think of a dating method (that is used) with such a short usefulness.

What is my age?

Age is a measure of how long a person has lived or a thing has existed. For humans, this is represented in months up to 23 months. From age 2, human age is given in years. However, children often still count their age as years and months ("I am 5 years and 4 months old."). Also, it is often fun for an adult (usually elderly) to return to giving their age in years and months ("I am 91 years and 7 months old. And that is old!"For objects, humans don't count months, unless it is important to the story. Example: The new Court House was only 5 months old before the tornado destroyed it. Most often, objects skip age until it is at least 1 year old, but most often, people are more interested in age only if the object is very old or has an anniversary of creation. Example: The stadium celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Radiocarbon dating is only accurate for objects no more than?

Radiocarbon dating is only accurate for objects up to about 50,000 years old, as the amount of carbon-14 left in the sample becomes too small to measure accurately beyond that point. Beyond this age limit, other dating methods such as potassium-argon dating or luminescence dating may be used to determine the age of older objects.


Why don't we use radiocarbon dating for dinosaur bones?

Radiocarbon dating is not used for dinosaur bones because dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, and radiocarbon dating is only effective for dating objects up to around 50,000 years old. Dinosaurs are too old for this method to accurately determine their age.


What are limits of using uranium 238 in dating the age of objects?

The main limitation of using uranium 238 for dating objects is that it has a very long half-life (4.5 billion years), which makes it unsuitable for dating more recent objects. Additionally, there can be challenges in accurately measuring the ratios of uranium and its decay products in the sample, which can affect the reliability of the age determination.

Why is a uranium isotope often used rather than 14C in radiometric dating to determine the age of earth?

Uranium isotopes are used for dating older rocks (billions of years old) because their half-lives are longer than that of 14C. Uranium isotopes like 238U have half-lives in the millions to billions of years, making them ideal for dating Earth's age. 14C, with a half-life of about 5,730 years, is more suitable for dating materials up to around 50,000 years old.
