What is radiometric dating?
Think about how we measure the time since something was formed.
What is half-life?
Consider the time period it takes for half of a quantity to disappear.
What method uses radioactive decay to determine the age of materials?
Think about age determination using isotopes.
True or False: Nuclear fusion releases more energy than nuclear fission.
Consider which process is happening in stars.
Calculate the age of a rock sample if you know the ratio of parent uranium-238 to daughter lead-206 is 1:3. Given the half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years.
Use the half-life to calculate based on the parent-daughter ratio.
Discuss the potential environmental impacts of nuclear waste from fission and how they can be mitigated.
Consider ways to store and manage waste safely.
