What is the formula for radiocarbon dating?

Carbon 14 is a common form of carbon which decays over time. The amount of Carbon 14 contained in a preserved plant is modeled by the equation f(t) = 10e^{-ct}.

Who found carbon dating?

Willard Libby Radiocarbon dating/Inventors Professor Willard Libby, a chemist at the University of Chicago, first proposed the idea of radiocarbon dating in 1946. Three years later, Libby proved his hypothesis correct when he accurately dated a series of objects with already-known ages.
