Becquerel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [size=87%]• Ten things you didn't know about Wikipedia •

For other uses, see Becquerel (disambiguation).
The becquerel (symbol Bq) is the SI derived unit of radioactivity, defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second. It is therefore equivalent to s-1. The older unit of radioactivity was the curie (Ci), defined as 3.7×1010 becquerels or 37 GBq. The becquerel is named for Henri Becquerel, who shared a Nobel Prize with Pierre and Marie Curie for their work in discovering radioactivity.
In a fixed mass of radioactive material, the number of becquerelschanges with time. Sometimes, amounts of radioactive material are givenafter adjustment for some period of time. For example, one might quotea ten-day adjusted figure, that is, the amount of radioactivity thatwill still be present after ten days. This de-emphasizes short-livedisotopes.
SIuses the becquerel rather than the second for the unit of activitymeasure to avoid dangerous mistakes: a measurement in becquerels isproportional to activity, and thus a more dangerous source of radiationgives a higher reading. A measurement in seconds is inverselyproportional. As any SI unit, Bq can be prefixed; commonly used multiples are kBq (kilobecquerel, 103 Bq), MBq (megabecquerel, 106 Bq), and GBq (gigabecquerel, 109 Bq).
When measuring radioactivity of a sample with a detector, a unit of"counts per second" (cps) is often used. Counts per second can beconverted to the absolute activity of the sample in Bq if one applies anumber of significant conversions, e.g., for the radiation background,for the detector efficiency, for the counting geometry, forself-absorption of the radiation in the sample.
The becquerel can be used for the frequency of aperiodic events; for periodic events, the Hertz, which is also defined as s–1, is used as unit.
[edit] Definition1 Bq = 1 s–1
This SI unit is named after Henri Becquerel. As for all SI units whose names are derived from the proper name of a person, the first letter of its symbol is uppercase (Bq). But when an SI unit is spelled out, it should always be written in lowercase (becquerel), unless it begins a sentence or is the name "degree Celsius".
