What is the name of that system, which uses radioactivity to decide the period of materials of pre-historic period?
(1) Radium dating
(2) Uranium dating
(3) Carbon dating
(4) Deuterium dating
Answer: (3) Radiocarbon dating (usually referred to as simply carbon dating) is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 (14C) to estimate the age of carbon-bearing materials up to about 58,000 to 62,000 years.
