Rutherford (Rd) is a unit of radioactivity that defines the rate at which a sample of radioactive material decays. Named after the physicist Ernest Rutherford, one rutherford indicates one million disintegrations per second. Its use is primarily historical, as the becquerel (Bq) is now the preferred SI unit for measuring radioactivity, with one Bq equaling one disintegration per second. Despite its limited modern application, the concept of rutherford remains pivotal in understanding the evolution of radioactivity measurement units and offers insight into the history of nuclear science.
Definition of One/secondOne/second, denoted as s⁻¹, is a unit of frequency that measures the number of occurrences of a repeating event per second. In scientific contexts, it is often used to describe rates of change or decay, such as in the context of radioactive decay, where it indicates how many events occur within a second. This unit is especially useful in fields such as physics and engineering, where understanding the rate at which processes occur is crucial for analysis and design. The versatility of this unit allows for its application across numerous scientific disciplines.
| Rutherford (Rd) | One/second (s⁻¹) |
|---|---|
| 1 Rd | 1,000,000 s⁻¹ |
| 0.5 Rd | 500,000 s⁻¹ |
| 0.1 Rd | 100,000 s⁻¹ |
| 0.05 Rd | 50,000 s⁻¹ |
| 0.01 Rd | 10,000 s⁻¹ |
| 0.005 Rd | 5,000 s⁻¹ |
| 0.001 Rd | 1,000 s⁻¹ |
| 0.0005 Rd | 500 s⁻¹ |
| 0.0001 Rd | 100 s⁻¹ |
| 0.00001 Rd | 10 s⁻¹ |
1 Rd = 1,000,000 s⁻¹
0.5 Rd = 500,000 s⁻¹
Example 1:
Convert 0.75 Rd to s⁻¹:
0.75 Rd = 0.75 × 1,000,000 s⁻¹ = 750,000 s⁻¹
Example 2:
Convert 0.25 Rd to s⁻¹:
0.25 Rd = 0.25 × 1,000,000 s⁻¹ = 250,000 s⁻¹
The Rutherford to One/second Converter traces its origin to the need for precise radioactivity measurements in nuclear physics. Introduced as a historical unit, the rutherford was named after Ernest Rutherford and signified one million disintegrations per second. Over time, as the need for standardized measurements grew, the SI unit becquerel replaced it. However, the conversion between rutherford and one/second remains relevant, especially for understanding the historical context of radioactivity measurement. This tool simplifies this conversion, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in scientific research.
