Disintegrations per Second (dps) to Rutherford (Rd) converter

Converting from Disintegrations per Second (dps) to Rutherford (Rd) | Radioactivity

What is Disintegrations per Second (dps)

In the field of radioactivity measurement, Disintegrations per Second (dps) is a unit used to quantify the rate at which radioactive atoms undergo nuclear decay. It represents the number of disintegrations occurring in one second.

Mathematically, 1 Disintegration per Second (dps) can be denoted as

1 dps

What is Rutherford (Rd)

Rutherford (Rd) is another unit of radioactivity used to measure the rate of disintegrations. It is named after the renowned physicist Ernest Rutherford. One Rutherford is equivalent to 1 million disintegrations per second.

Hence, 1 Rutherford can be expressed as 1 Rd.

Conversion Formulas

The basic conversion formulas between Disintegrations per Second (dps) and Rutherford (Rd) are:

  • To convert from dps to Rd:
    Rd=1000000dps​
  • To convert from Rd to dps:
    dps=Rd×1000000

Examples

  1. Converting 17 dps to Rd:

    Rd=100000017​=0.000017 Rd

  2. Converting 13 Rd to dps:

    dps=13×1000000=13000000 dps

  3. For 8 dps:

    8 dps=0.000008 Rd

Conclusion

Use these conversion formulas to accurately convert between Disintegrations per Second (dps) and Rutherford (Rd) in the field of radioactivity.
