Tritium `(._(1)^(3)H)` is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. It has a half life of about 12 years. It is produced in the upper atmosphere and is brought to the earth by rain. This mechanism replensihes the Tritium in water on the Earth. Estimicate the ageof a bottle of wine whose `._(1)^(3)H` radiation is about `((1)/(5))^(th)` of that of a new bottle. `[\"log\"_(10)2=0.303]`.
