PredicateObject
rdf:type qudt:QuantityKind
dcterms:description \(\textit{Activity}\) is the number of decays per unit time of a radioactive sample, the term used to characterise the number of nuclei which disintegrate in a radioactive substance per unit time. Activity is usually measured in Becquerels (\(Bq\)), where 1 \(Bq\) is 1 disintegration per second, in honor of the scientist Henri Becquerel.

qudt:latexDefinition Variation \(dN\) of number of nuclei \(N\) in a particular energy state, in a sample of a radionuclide, due to spontaneous nuclear transitions from this state during an infinitesimal time interval, divided by its duration \(dt\); thus: activity \(A = -\frac{dN}{dt}\).
