The activity of a radioactive sample is the number of decay events per second. The SI unit of activity is the becquerel (1 Bq = 1/s) . An older unit for activity is the curie (1 Ci = 3.70 x1010/s) . What is the activity in Bq of a sample with an activity of 47 µCi of radiation?
A) 7.9 x102 Bq
B) 7.9 x 108 Bq
C) 1.7 x 1012 Bq
D) 1.7 x 106 Bq
E) 1.3 x 10-16 Bq
