Converting from Disintegrations per Second (dps) to Gigabecquerel (GBq)

What is Disintegrations per Second (dps)

Disintegrations per Second (dps) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the rate at which radioactive atoms undergo decay. It represents the number of atoms that decay per second, indicating the activity of a radioactive substance.

What is Gigabecquerel (GBq)

Gigabecquerel (GBq) is a unit of radioactivity that measures the number of disintegrations per second on a much larger scale. One Gigabecquerel is equivalent to one billion disintegrations per second.
