Carbon-14 has a half-life of about 5,730 years. If an artifact has undergone 4 half-lives, we can calculate its age as follows:
Age = Number of half-lives × Half-life duration
Age = 4 × 5,730 years
Age = 22,920 years
Therefore, the object would be approximately 22,920 years old.
Age = Number of half-lives × Half-life duration
Age = 4 × 5,730 years
Age = 22,920 years
Therefore, the object would be approximately 22,920 years old.
