What are the units of radiation doses?
Sieverts and milliSieverts are used now. They replaced the old rem and millirem. There is a factor 100 difference, so 1 Sievert = 100 Rem. The current limit for nuclear industry employees is 20 milliSv/year, though the actual average level in the US is about 2.4 milliSv.
What are rems?
The Rem used to be used in Health Physics to measure radiation dose, it is an acronym for Rontgen Equivalent Man.(The methodology allows for the different effects of different types of radiation). The unit now used is the Sievert (Sv), 1 Sievert = 100 Rem. This is a large unit, so millisieverts are used for practical personnel radiation measures, so 1 millisievert = 100 millirem. Recommended radiation levels for nuclear workers are set by the ICRP (International Committee for Radiation Protection). These used to be set at 5 Rem/year (50 milliSv) but now the level is 20 milliSv/year ie 2 Rem/year. The use of Rem and millirem has been discontinued in the nuclear industry in favour of Sieverts and millisieverts. However as someone with nuclear experience going back to 1958 I find it difficult to think in Sieverts. For example I know that 500 Rem will kill roughly 1/2 the people exposed to it within a month, now I have to change that to 5 Sieverts. Fortunately that level of exposure has only happened once (at Chernobyl).
What is relation between wavelength and peak voltage?
There is really no relation.
What is the relation between velocity and acceretion?
That they have "Speed" in common.
What is the relation between the path difference and phase difference?
Relation between phase difference and path difference is path difference/wavelength=phase difference/2*pi
How many sievert equals Roentgen equivalent man?
1 rem = 0.01 Sv
The standard unit of radiation related to biologic hazard is known as the?
The standard unit of radiation related to biological hazard is known as sievert denoted by Sv. The smaller unit for the same is called rem (100 rem is 1 Sv). The difference between the unit of absorbed dose(Gray / rad) and Sv is that sievert also takes into account the biological effectiveness of the different types of radiation
What is the difference between wssm and rem in ammo?

What is seivert?
The sievert is a unit of radiation dose equivalent, used to measure the biological effect of ionizing radiation on living tissue. It takes into account the type of radiation, the energy of the radiation, and the specific tissues or organs affected. The sievert is the standard unit for measuring radiation doses in the International System of Units (SI).
