Data Source and Methodology

Tutti i calcoli si basano rigorosamente sulle formule e sui dati forniti da questa fonte: [NIST](https://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?curie).

The Formula Explained

\[ Bq = Ci \times 3.7 \times 10^{10} \]

Glossary of Variables

  • Curie (Ci): A unit of radioactivity, representing the decay rate of radioactive material.
  • Becquerel (Bq): The SI unit of radioactivity, equivalent to one disintegration per second.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

For instance, if you have 2 Curies, the conversion is as follows: \[ Bq = 2 \times 3.7 \times 10^{10} = 7.4 \times 10^{10} \text{ Bq} \]

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Curie?

A Curie is a non-SI unit of radioactivity, originally defined as the number of disintegrations per second in one gram of radium.

What is a Becquerel?

A Becquerel is the SI unit of radioactivity, defined as one disintegration per second.

How accurate is this conversion?

The conversion is based on a fixed factor of \(3.7 \times 10^{10}\), ensuring high accuracy for standard measurements.

Can I convert Becquerels back to Curies?

Yes, you can use the inverse of the conversion factor: \[ Ci = Bq / 3.7 \times 10^{10} \]

Why use Curies and Becquerels?

Curies and Becquerels are widely used in nuclear physics and radiology to measure radioactive decay.
