(Nuclear) I don't understand how to answer this question.
Original post by isaac_forde
Any help would be great.
The activity is the number of radioactive particles that decay and emit radiation (alpha particles in this case) per second.
You have this and the energy that each particle has.
so you need to do a multiplication and convert eV into joules

you know the kinetic energy of each particle.... just multiply by the number of particles released per second.
I didn’t realise energy released = energy absorbed by container. Thank you
