One Rutherford is equal to

  • A.\(10^{8}\) disintegrations per second
  • B.\(10^{4}\) disintegrations per second
  • C.\(10^{6}\) disintegrations per second
  • D.1 disintegrations per second

Answer: C

One rutherford is a unit of radioactivity equal to 106 disintegrations per second, so option C is correct.

The becquerel (1 disintegration per second) and the curie (3.7 x 1010 per second) are the other units of activity; the values 108 and 104 do not define the rutherford.

The unit is named after Ernest Rutherford and is now obsolete, replaced by the becquerel, and 1 rutherford equals one million becquerels.
