1 1/s = 1 Bq

1 Bq = 1 1/s

Example: 1000 1/s = 1,000 Bq

Equivalent to one decay per second.

History: Mathematical reciprocal time unit.

Current use: Used in dimensional analysis and physics calculations.

Also written as 1/s.

One becquerel is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.

History: Named after Henri Becquerel, who shared a Nobel Prize with Pierre and Marie Curie for their work in discovering radioactivity.

Current use: The standard international unit for radioactivity in medicine, science, and industry.

Also written as Bq, becquerels.
