Becquerel’s law

Becquerel’s law states that the rate at which a radioactive substance emits radiation (called activity) is directly proportional to the number of radioactive atoms present. In other words, the more radioactive atoms inside a material, the higher the amount of radiation it releases over time. This relationship helps scientists understand and measure the activity of radioactive materials, which is important in fields like medicine, nuclear power, and scientific research. The law emphasizes that radioactive decay is a random process, but the overall rate depends on the quantity of radioactive atoms.
