Which outcome occurs to detector readings after radiocarbon decay?

A)Decreased beta particle emission detection
B)Increased alpha particle flux detected
C)Gamma ray spectrometer shows redshift
D)Neutron dosimeter reading increases swiftly

💡 Explanation

Reduced beta particle emission occurs because radiocarbon dating relies on measuring the remaining Carbon-14, which undergoes beta decay returning nitrogen-14. Therefore, lower C-14 causes weakened beta counts, rather than elevated observations due to increased isotopes.
