      abstract = {carbon-14 dating, also called radiocarbon dating, method of age determination that depends upon the decayto nitrogen of radiocarbon (carbon-14).Carbon-14 is continually formed in nature by the interaction of neutrons with nitrogen-14 in the Earth?s atmosphere; the neutrons required for this reaction are produced by cosmic rays interacting with the atmosphere.Radiocarbon present in molecules of atmospheric carbon dioxide enters the biological carbon cycle: it is absorbed from the air by green plants and then passed on to animals through the food chain. Radiocarbon decays slowly in a living organism, and the amount lost is continually replenished as long as the organism takes in air or food. Once the organism dies, however, it ceases to absorbcarbon-14, so that the amount of the radiocarbon in its tissues steadily decreases. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 ? 40 years?i.e., half the amount of the radioisotope present at any given time will undergo    spontaneous disintegration during the succeeding 5,730 years. Because carbon-14 decays at this constant rate, an estimate of the date at which an organism died can be made by measuring the amount of its residual radiocarbon ln the reference we can find accurate age of coal particle by acclerated mass spectroscopy.it is easy way to find out their age also this ?ontext this can help crime scene lnvestigation.},
