Date: 2020-08-04

In this video, we have discussed about different radioactive dating processes such as 1. Uranium-Lead, 2. Potassium-Argon and 3. Rubidium-Strontium dating. The core concept behind all these methods is the same…the elements undergo radioactive decay and the decay process has a fixed half-life.

Besides, the Thermoluminescence method of Absolute Dating of artefacts is also discussed in detail.
