Bonsoir, j'ai un exercice de physique mais j'aimerais savoir comment trouver la question 2) et 3).
In 2006, a former Russian spy, Alexandre Litvinenko, was poisoned in London by means of 10 microgrammes of polonium 210, probably coming from radioactive waste. This element, discovered by Marie Curie in an ore, pechblende, has an activity pf 1.66x10^14 Bq per gram. It emits nuclei of helium, which are very harmful since they are absorbed by human tissues.
1)Was the polonium 210 which poisoned Litvienko of natural or artificial origin? And that discovered by Marie Curie?
J'ai répondu que le polonium 210 est d'origine naturel mais que ce qu'a trouvé Marie Curie était artificiel. (Je sais pas si c'est bon)
2)Determine the activity of 10 microgramme of polonium.
Là j'ai essayé des calculs mais je pense pas que ce soit bon.
J'ai trouvé A=8,3X10^9.
3)Why were the doctors unable to detect the radioactive contamination easily?
Merci par avance
