Convert Disintegrations per Second to Becquerel
Input the number of disintegrations per second you want to convert to becquerels.
How to Convert Disintegrations per Second to Becquerels
The disintegrations per second and becquerel are both units of radioactivity. By definition, 1 disintegrations per second equals exactly 1 becquerels. This means to convert disintegrations per second to becquerels, you multiply by 1.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 dps to becquerels:
We need to convert disintegrations per second to becquerels
Since 1 dps = 1 Bq, multiply by 1
5 × 1 = 5
5 dps = 5 Bq

About These Units
Disintegrations per Second (dps)
Disintegrations per second (dps) is identical to the becquerel—one nuclear decay per second. Used interchangeably with Bq in scientific contexts. Directly measures the fundamental quantity: nuclear transformation rate. One Bq = 1 dps exactly.
Becquerel (Bq)
The becquerel (Bq) is the SI unit of radioactivity, measuring decay rate: one becquerel = one nuclear decay per second. Named after Henri Becquerel who discovered radioactivity in 1896. Human body contains ~7,000 Bq from potassium-40. One curie = 37 billion becquerels.
