Radioactivity is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. It is measured in becquerels (Bq).
1 cpm = 0.017 γ
1 γ = 60 cpm
Example:
Convert 15 Counts per Minute to Gamma Radiation:
15 cpm = 0.25 γ
Counts per Minute | Gamma Radiation |
---|---|
0.01 cpm | 0 γ |
0.1 cpm | 0.002 γ |
1 cpm | 0.017 γ |
