The radioactive decay law, \(N = N_0 e^{-\lambda t}\), uses the properties of radioactive substances to estimate the age of a substance. Radioactive carbon has the same chemistry as stable carbon, so it mixes into the ecosphere and eventually becomes part of every living organism.

To analyze this particle decay, apply both conservation laws to the process.

The basic approach is to estimate the original number of nuclei in a material and the present number of nuclei in the material (after decay), and then use the known value of the decay constant \(\lambda\) and Equation \ref{decay law}to calculate the total time of the decay, \(t\).
