In 1960, Dr. Willard Frank Libby was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on radiocarbon dating. Do you know that the ratio of Carbon-14 to carbon-12 is almost constant for any living thing? That ratio is about one Carbon-14 atom for every 1 trillion carbon-12 atoms. In this video, we will study the math and science behind carbon dating. We will use exponential function and natural logarithm to model and compute the continuous decay of carbon-14 and estimate the age of a fossil. | A
