Radioactive Dating
All radioactive decays follow first order kinetics. Therefore, the half-life of a radioactive element is independent of the amount of sample. With the help of half-life values of a suitable radioisotope of an element, which is present in a rock, or in an artefact, the age ..

Summary
Radioactivity Spontaneous emission of active rays by certain unstable elements. Three types of radiations are: (i) Alpha particles He 2 + ion (Helium nuclei). (ii) Beta - rays - consist of electrons. (iii) Gamma - rays - High energy electromagnetic rays. Emission of alpha particle reduc..
Summary
kinetic energy of alpha particles . Further, as electron would lose energy continuously, the atoms should emit electro-magnetic waves over a continuous range. But atoms emit only discrete frequency wavelengths only. From alpha ray scattering experiment, Rutherford calculated distance (r o ) of closest approach of a - particle to th..
