A Megabecquerel (MBq) is a unit of radioactivity in the International System of Units (SI), representing one million becquerels. It measures the rate of radioactive decay, quantifying how many atoms in a sample decay every second. This unit is essential in various fields like nuclear medicine, radiopharmaceuticals, and radiation safety, where precise measurements of radioactivity are crucial. The prefix 'Mega' indicates multiplication by a million, making it a more practical unit for large quantities of radioactivity. Understanding MBq is vital in ensuring safe handling and accurate dosing in medical and scientific applications.
Definition of Disintegrations/secondDisintegrations per second (dps) is a measure of radioactivity, representing the number of atomic disintegrations that occur in one second. This unit directly quantifies the intensity of radioactivity, providing a clear picture of how actively radioactive a substance is. Used in nuclear physics and radiochemistry, dps is crucial for understanding the decay processes of unstable isotopes. In medical applications, it helps determine the appropriate dosage of radioactive materials used in diagnostic imaging and therapy. By understanding disintegrations per second, scientists and healthcare professionals can manage and utilize radioactive materials safely and effectively.
| Megabecquerel (MBq) | Disintegrations/second (dps) |
|---|---|
| 1 MBq | 1,000,000 dps |
| 5 MBq | 5,000,000 dps |
| 10 MBq | 10,000,000 dps |
| 20 MBq | 20,000,000 dps |
| 50 MBq | 50,000,000 dps |
| 100 MBq | 100,000,000 dps |
| 200 MBq | 200,000,000 dps |
| 500 MBq | 500,000,000 dps |
| 1000 MBq | 1,000,000,000 dps |
| 2000 MBq | 2,000,000,000 dps |
1 MBq = 1,000,000 dps
1 dps = 0.000001 MBq
Example 1:
convert 5 MBq to dps:
5 MBq = 5 × 1,000,000 dps = 5,000,000 dps
Example 2:
convert 3.5 MBq to dps:
3.5 MBq = 3.5 × 1,000,000 dps = 3,500,000 dps
