Problem 34
Carbon-14 dating assumes that the carbon dioxide on Earth today has the same radioactive content as it did centuries ago. If this is true, the amount of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) absorbed by a tree that grew several centuries ago should be the same as the amount of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) absorbed by a tree growing today.
