The SI unit of measuring radioactivity is :

  • A.Curie
  • B.Becquerel
  • C.Rads
  • D.Gray

Answer: B

The SI unit of radioactivity is the becquerel.

One becquerel (Bq) is one disintegration per second. It replaced the curie, the older non-SI unit equal to 3.7 × 1010 Bq.

The rad and the gray measure absorbed dose of radiation, energy deposited per kilogram of matter, not the activity of a source; the gray is the SI unit of absorbed dose and the rad its older counterpart.
