What are Curie and Megabecquerel

Definition of Curie

The Curie, abbreviated as Ci, is a unit of radioactivity named after the pioneering scientist Marie Curie. It quantifies the number of radioactive decays per second, specifically 3.7 x 10^10 decays. This unit was established to measure the intensity of radioactivity of a substance, providing a standard for comparing the radioactivity of different materials. Originally based on the activity of one gram of radium-226, the Curie remains significant in nuclear physics and medical applications, aiding in understanding and utilizing radioactive substances.

Definition of Megabecquerel

The Megabecquerel, abbreviated as MBq, is a unit of radioactivity in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the rate of radioactive decay, defined as one million decays per second. The unit is named after Henri Becquerel, who discovered radioactivity. Utilizing the Megabecquerel allows for a standardized expression of radioactive activity, facilitating comparisons between different radioactive sources. It is widely used in nuclear medicine, scientific research, and various industrial applications where precise radioactivity measurements are critical for safety and efficacy.
