French physicist who discovered that rays emitted by uranium salts affect photographic plates (1852-1908)
SI unit of activity of a radioactive substance.
1In 1896 Becquerel brought us to the threshold of the great discovery.
2A terabecquerel equals a trillion becquerels, a measure for radiation emissions.
3Becquerel had no idea of such radiations, had never thought of their possibility.
4Becquerel began to experiment with a view to testing this supposition.
5Becquerel took to carrying a vial of uranium salt in his waistcoat pocket.
6Japan recently introduced a new safety limit of 100 becquerels per kilogram in food.
7In 1903 the Curies and Becquerel were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in physics.
8Becquerel was the first, I believe, to use this property.
9Becquerel and Deslandres, M. Broca, Professor Michelson, and others-havepointed out some remarkable peculiarities.
10Becquerel per hour measures the amount of radiation emitted or the rate of radioactive decay.
11This experience at least was as up-to-date as the Curies, Becquerel, Ramsay, and the rest.
12The safety level for adults is 300 becquerels.
13First of all I took out the two Becquerel ray-condensers that I had bought in Sydney.
14Radioactivity was discovered by Henri Becquerel in 1896.
15Seebeck, Becquerel, and others, also touched the discovery.
