Radioactivity is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. It is measured in becquerels (Bq).
1 α = 1 cps
1 cps = 1 α
Example:
Convert 15 Alpha Particles to Counts per Second:
15 α = 15 cps
| Alpha Particles | Counts per Second |
|---|---|
| 0.01 α | 0.01 cps |
| 0.1 α | 0.1 cps |
| 1 α | 1 cps |
| 2 α | 2 cps |
| 3 α | 3 cps |
| 5 α | 5 cps |
| 10 α | 10 cps |
| 20 α | 20 cps |
| 30 α | 30 cps |
| 40 α | 40 cps |
| 50 α | 50 cps |
| 60 α | 60 cps |
| 70 α | 70 cps |
| 80 α | 80 cps |
| 90 α | 90 cps |
| 100 α | 100 cps |
| 250 α | 250 cps |
| 500 α | 500 cps |
| 750 α | 750 cps |
| 1000 α | 1,000 cps |
| 10000 α | 10,000 cps |
| 100000 α | 100,000 cps |
