Radioactivity And Particles: Units

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

Radioactive sources do not switch on and off like a lamp. They decay continuously, and measuring how quickly that happens requires its own set of units. A hospital physicist tracking a tracer dose and a geologist dating an ancient rock both rely on the same handful of quantities and units.

This lesson covers the units the Edexcel specification expects you to use in the Radioactivity and Particles section, from the becquerel for activity to the everyday time units that appear in half-life calculations. You will practise converting between seconds, minutes, and hours so that substitution into decay equations stays error-free.

  1. Use the following units: becquerel (Bq), centimetre (cm), hour (h), minute (min) and second (s)

Akọmọ Ojú-ẹkọ

When a radioactive nucleus decays, it emits a particle or photon. A Geiger counter clicks each time it detects one. The number of decays happening every second tells you how active the source is, and that quantity - activity - has its own SI unit. The units in this section are few, but getting the time conversions right is critical for half-life problems, and one unit here, the centimetre, describes something quite different: how far a type of radiation can travel before it is absorbed.
