The half life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73 x 10^3 years. suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of wood from an archeological dig is measured to be 53.bq. the activity in a similar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 59.bq.
1. calculate the age of the artifact. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
