t_U/Pb = 15.15*(10^9)*log10(1+(1.158*Pb²⁰⁶)/U²³⁸)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

log10 - The common logarithm, also known as the base-10 logarithm or the decimal logarithm, is a mathematical function that is the inverse of the exponential function., log10(Number)

Variables Used

Age of Mineral and Rocks for Pure U/Pb-206 system - (Measured in Year) - Age of Mineral and Rocks for Pure U/Pb-206 system is defined as the amount of time that has passed since the creation of the sample mineral/rock.
Number of Pb-206 present in Mineral/Rock Sample - (Measured in Milligram) - Number of Pb-206 present in Mineral/Rock Sample is defined as the amount of lead-206 present in a given mineral/rock sample.
Number of U-238 present in Mineral/Rock Sample - (Measured in Milligram) - Number of U-238 present in Mineral/Rock Sample is defined as the amount of uranium-238 present in a given mineral/rock sample.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Pb-206 present in Mineral/Rock Sample: 0.6 Milligram --> 0.6 Milligram No Conversion Required
Number of U-238 present in Mineral/Rock Sample: 2 Milligram --> 2 Milligram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_U/Pb = 15.15*(10^9)*log10(1+(1.158*Pb²⁰⁶)/U²³⁸) --> 15.15*(10^9)*log10(1+(1.158*0.6)/2)

Evaluating ... ...

t_U/Pb = 1961872626.70239

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.19107203109613E+16 Second -->1961872626.70239 Year (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1961872626.70239 ≈ 2E+9 Year <-- Age of Mineral and Rocks for Pure U/Pb-206 system

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

How to Determine the Age using Radioactive isotopes?

Each radioactive isotope decays with a characteristic rate which is invariable under all conditions of temperature, pressure and chemical environment. However, radioactivity being a statistical phenomenon, the invariability of the decay constant is assured only as long as large number of atoms are present; with this provision, radioisotopes can be looked upon as nature's atomic clocks recording the passage of time since the birth of the universe in terms of number of atoms decayed.
The basis of age determination by radioactive method depends on the the sample containing a radioisotope in equilibrium with it's stable product and of an age commensurate with the half-life.
