    How many alpha particles are emitted per second by 1 microgram of radium

    A)            \[3.62\times {{10}^{4}}/\sec \]                                        

    B)            \[0.362\times {{10}^{4}}/\sec \]

    C)            \[362\times {{10}^{4}}/\sec \]                                          

    D)            \[36.2\times {{10}^{4}}/\sec \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

           \[1C\]= Activity of \[1g\] of \[R{{a}^{226}}=3.7\times {{10}^{10}}dps\]                    Activity of \[1\mu g\] of \[R{{a}^{226}}=3.7\times {{10}^{4}}dps\]                    So, the no. of \[\alpha \]-particles are emitted per second by \[1\mu g\] of \[Ra\] is \[3.7\times {{10}^{4}}dps\,\approx 3.62\times {{10}^{4}}/\sec \]
