Electromagnetic Radiation
C = f x λ
C is Speed of Light (3x10¹⁰cm/s)
f is Frequency (Hz)
λ is Wavelength
Q
Represents the release of energy during Nuclear Fission
Ci
Curies
Bq
Becquerel
Specific Activity
Dimensions of radioactive activity per gram
- Ci/g or Bq/g
Bq to Ci
Ci to Bq
A
Activity
n
Number of half-lives
How to find activity after half-lives?
A= A / 2ⁿ
R
Roentagen
- R/h measures Characteristic Intensity
mSv
Millisiverts
- mSv/h/GigaBq measures Characteristic Intensity
Characteristic Intensity Measurements
Ampere
1amp = 6.3x10¹⁸/s electrons moving through a conductor
Electrical Current
What is 1 Milliampere (ma) in Amperes?
1ma = 0.001amp
Volt (V)
Voltage
- Amount of Voltage is the amount of current required to move 1 amp of current through a conductor /s
