Curie (Ci) is the old unit of radioactivity; now is used in SI the becquerel.

The correct word is decays not emissions.

1 curie = 3,7.1010 decays/second

Is radiation measured in emissions sec called the curie?

No, radiation is not measured in emissions per second. The curie (Ci) is a unit used to measure the activity of a radioactive substance, representing the rate of radioactive decay. The unit for measuring radiation exposure is the sievert (Sv).


Is the curie the unit in which exposure to a dose of radiation is measured?

No, the curie (Ci) is a unit that measures radioactivity, specifically the amount of radioactive decay occurring in a sample, rather than the exposure to radiation. Exposure to a dose of radiation is typically measured in gray (Gy) or rad, which quantify the energy deposited in a material by ionizing radiation. The curie is related to the activity of radioactive materials, while gray and rad are concerned with the biological effects of absorbed radiation.
