Finally, how does radiometric dating work?
I prefer the term radioactive dating. This is the process in which the age of an object is determined based on how many radioactive nucleides that are present.
Does the half-life have effect the age?
The approximate age is based on the fact that radioactive substances decay with a known half life. So it helps determine the age not effect.
Thank you. I do appreciate all your help today. I know i will pass my test on nuclear radiation.
No problem I'm here to help. Goodluck and try your best.
