PDF-The activity of a radioactive source When an atom disintegrates radi

53 1 Bq 1 disintegration per sec The accepted practice is to give the activity of a radioactive source in becquerel This is because Bq is the unit chosen for the system of international units . Units Becquerel Bq 1 dps Curie Ci old unit 37 x 10 10 Bq exactl originally defined as the activity of 10 g of radium Exponential Decay Activity A of a rad oactive nuclide decreases exponentially with time Let N ato s present dN N dt The consta Fourth lecture.

When the nucleus of an atom possesses either too many or too few neutrons compared to the number of protons it becomes unstable. These are called radioactive isotopes. Unstable nuclei split up in a process called radioactive decay and emit radioactive radiation.. R. C. Smart. of the IAEA publication (ISBN 978–92–0–143810–2):. Review of Nuclear Medicine Physics:.
