Solution Preview
Start by noting the definition of Radioactivity which is the number of disintergrations per second of a nuclide species.
Thus the Definition of the Curie (unit Ci)
1 Ci = 3.7 x 10^10 disintergrations per second
The Becquerel (unit Bq) is a more precise measure of radioactivity being 1 disintergration per second
Thus we can say that :
1 Ci = 3.7 x 10^10 Bq
Power (P) flux associated with a certain activity (A) is determined from the product of the mean energy per emission particle/photon {E(m)} and ...
Solution Summary
A method is shown on how to convert radiation activity in Curies or Becquerels into Radiation dose (absorption) in Rems or Grays.
