Physics: Radioactivity And Particles: Units

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

Radioactivity is invisible, silent and completely beyond the reach of your senses. The only way to say anything useful about a radioactive source is to attach numbers to it, and numbers in physics are worthless without the right units.

This short lesson covers the handful of units you need for the whole radioactivity topic: the becquerel for activity, the centimetre for the distances and thicknesses used in absorption experiments, and the second, minute and hour for the times that appear in half-life questions. You will also practise the conversions that examiners build into calculation questions.

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

Akọmọ Ojú-ẹkọ

A sealed radioactive source sitting on a laboratory bench looks exactly like a small metal cylinder. Nothing about it looks, sounds or smells different from an ordinary piece of metal, yet inside it several thousand nuclei are breaking apart every second. The only handle physics gives you on that process is measurement, and every measurement in this topic is one of three things: how many decays happen per second, how far the radiation travels or how much material it passes through, and how long the source takes to weaken. Those three questions are exactly why the specification asks you to work in becquerels, centimetres, and seconds, minutes and hours.
