What else can I help you with?
The rem is a unit used to measure?
Radiation dose in terms of the amount of the biological effect caused by the amount of energy absorbed
What are the units of measurement for radiation?
The units of measurement for radiation include gray (Gy) for absorbed dose, sievert (Sv) for equivalent dose, and becquerel (Bq) for activity. These units help quantify the amount of radiation exposure or contamination.
When an absorbed dose of radiation is multiplied by a quality factor the exposure (dose) to a person is reported in?
REM's or Sieverts
What method is used to estimate a redaiation dose by measuering the biological response to an absorbed dose of ionizing radiation?
RAD
Why did the tenth Doctor die?
Because he absorbed a fatal dose of radiation.
What is the difference between absorbed dose and equivalent dose?
sorbed dose (also known as total ionizing dose, TID) is a measure of the energy deposited in a medium by ionizing radiation. It is equal to the energy deposited per unit mass of medium, and so has the unit J/kg, which is given the special name gray (Gy).ote that the absorbed dose is not a good indicator of the likely biological effect. 1 Gy of alpha radiation would be much more biologically damaging than 1 Gy of photon radiation for example. Appropriate weighting factors can be applied reflecting the different relative biological effects to find the dose equivalent.Dose equivalent= absorbed dose x radiation weighting factor( or quality factor).
What are all the measurements used for radiation?
Common measurements for radiation include sieverts (Sv), grays (Gy), becquerels (Bq), and roentgens (R). Sieverts and grays are used to measure absorbed dose, while becquerels measure the activity of a radioactive source, and roentgens measure the ionization of air caused by radiation.
What is the definition for Radiation Absorbed Dose?
Radiation absorbed dose (rad) is a unit used to quantify the amount of energy absorbed from ionizing radiation by a material or tissue. It is defined as the energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of the absorbing material.
When an absorbed dose of radiation is multiplied by a quality factor the exposure dose to a person is reported in?
When an absorbed dose of radiation is multiplied by a quality factor, the exposure dose to a person is reported in sieverts (Sv). The sievert is the unit of measurement for the health effect of radiation on the human body, taking into account both the type of radiation and the tissue sensitivity.
Parameters that affect the absorbed dose of radiation include which of the following?
All answers are correct.
What is the difference between rad and rem?
The Rad is a unit of ionizing radiation, measuring its energy distribution in air. A Rontgen is similar, but it measures the energy absorbed by an object. A REM is a Rontgen Equivalent Man, so it measures the energy absorbed by a human being.
What dose a barometer measure?
Atmospheric pressure
