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.

Carbon dating is a radiometric dating method that can accurately determine the age of organic materials up to about 50,000 years old. It works by measuring the decay of carbon-14 isotopes in the material. After 40,000 years, the remaining carbon-14 levels are too low to accurately date the sample.

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.
What are the limitations of using uranium-238 in dating the age of objects?

Could radioactive dating only be used for igneous rocks?
Radioactive dating is only useful in dating igneous and metamorphic rock. Organic material that has not fossilized and does not exceed 70,000 years of age can be dated by Carbon dating techniques. Sedimentary rock can only be dated by its association with igneous and metamorphic rock.

Does radiocarbon dating determine the age of the earth?
No, radiocarbon dating is used to determine the age of organic materials up to around 50,000 years old. To determine the age of Earth, scientists use other methods like uranium-lead dating of rocks or meteorites, which provide an estimate of about 4.5 billion years.
If earth is 5 billion years old why don't people believe it?
The best answer I can think of (and undoubtedly the most controversial) is religion. Some religions state that the Earth was created approximately 4000 years ago along with the rest of the universe. I am neither agreeing with or discrediting religions that state this, only pointing out that they contradict what some scientific discoveries (such as the results of carbon dating) have proclaimed.
