The radioactivity of a substance is measured in terms of disintegration per second. Then `3 xx 10^8` dps (disintegration per second) is equal to

A

a. 1eV

B

1 MeV

C

300 rutherford

D

1 Curie

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
1 rutherford =`10^6` dps
`therefore 3xx 10^8 dps = 300 xx 10^6 dps = 300` rutherford
