What is the increase of an objects apparent size by using lenses or mirrors?
magnification
How can you observe tiny objects?
Either using a microscope or a magnifying glass will help you to see a tiny object.
What is a sentence using the word infrared?
Some night vision goggles detect the infrared signatures of people and objects. Heat travels from a fireplace as infrared radiation.
How do you figure out age using radiometric dating?
The method compares the amount of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, in samples. The method uses known decay rates.
What two forces effect the gravitational force between two objects?
The gravitational force is a force between any two masses (so, basically, any object). The force depends on the mass and on the distance. More mass --> more force; greater distance --> less force.
What are benefits of using uranium in dating the age of objects?
It is applicable to dating geological samples old from 104 to 2.106 years.
What are the limitations of using uranium-238 in dating the age of objects?
The limitations are that it only dates the ages of rocks.
How do scientists determine how old objects are by?
Archeologists determine how old an object is, by using Carbon Dating.
How can you tell if 2 objects have the same relative age?
By using carbon dating.
The carbon-14 method of dating differs from the potassium-argon and the uranium-lead methods of dating by using what?
The carbon-14 dating method differs by using the decay of carbon-14 isotopes to determine the age of organic materials up to around 50,000 years old, while potassium-argon and uranium-lead methods are used for dating older rocks and minerals. Carbon-14 dating is primarily used for relatively recent materials, while potassium-argon and uranium-lead methods are used for dating geological samples millions to billions of years old.
Is the dating method of determining the dates of old objects by using radioactive elements?
Radiometric
Determining the dates of old objects by using radioactive elements is called dating?
radiometric
Method using properties of atoms in rocks and other objects to determine their ages?
This is known as radiometric dating.
What are the benefits of using Carbon 14 in dating objects?
Can be used in living or were living things and large things.
How did they figure out that the earth is 4 billion years old?
Actually the earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old. It was determined using several different dating methods, including uranium-lead radioactivity dating, zircon dating, etc.
What is the problem with using uranium as energy?
Uranium is toxic and radioactive; leakages of uranium from mines and plants are dangerous.
What is method using properties of atoms in rocks and other objects to determine their ages?
Radiometric dating. Uses the property of elements decaying into other elements.
