nome325 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I have this question for school but I have no Idea how to answer it...Please Help.... Draw Curves showing how the relative amounts of a radioactive parent and a stable daughter can yeild an absolute date for a rock sample.
RyanJ Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Well, plot amount vs accuracy I would think. As the the amount of radioative material inceased inthe rock the more accurate the reading will be Cheers, Ryan Jones
swansont Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 If it's a stable daughter, then the total number of atoms will be constant. Try looking at Nparent/Ntotal and Ndaughter/Ntotal
