A radon specimen emits radiation of `3.7xx10^(3)GB q` pe second. Convert this disintegration in terms of curie. (one curie`=3.7xx10^(10)` disintegration per second)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1 Bq = one disintegration per second , one curie = `3.7 xx 10^(10)`Bq
`1Bq= (1)/(3.7 xx 10^(10))` curie
` therefore 3.7 xx 10^(3) Gbq= 3.7 xx 10^(3) xx 10^(9) xx (1)/(3.7 xx 10^(10))`
= 100 curie
