question 149

Short Answer

The activity of a radioactive sample is the number of decay events per second. The SI unit of activity is the becquerel (1 Bq = 1/s). An older unit for activity is the curie (1 Ci = 3.70 1010/s). What is the activity in Ci of a sample with an activity of 2.1 The activity of a radioactive sample is the number of decay events per second. The SI unit of activity is the becquerel (1 Bq = 1/s).
