Following equation is used in carbon dating of the artefacts:
N = × where,
N = Decay rate of the artefact, expressed as disintegrations per minute (dpm) = Decay rate of natural carbon = 14 dpm
τ = Mean life time = = = 8267 years
t = Age of the artefact
What is the expected decay rate of the artefact, if it is known to be from Canadian New France era, 350 years ago.
