Tritium, or hydrogen-3, is formed in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays, similar to the formation of C-14. Tritium has been used to determine the age of wines. A certain wine that has been aged in a bottle has a tritium content only 78% of that in a similar wine of the same that has just been bottled. How long has the aged wine been in the bottle? T50 of tritium is 12.2 years.
Plan Use λ=2.303tlogN0N and λ=0.693T50
Thus, time t can be calculated.
