Formulae (4)

Question 1

Dose Rate/Intensity Formula

Answer 1

A x Characteristic Intensity = Dose rate

A=Ci, Chi=R/h) (A=GBq, Chi=mSv/h

Question 2

Exposure Dose is measured through…

Answer 2

c/Kg (coulombs per Kilogram)

Question 3

Gray (Gy)

Answer 3

Unit of absorbed dose (the absorption of 1 joule of ionizing energy per Kilogram of matter)

Question 4

Radiation Absorbed Dose (rad)

Answer 4

Unit of absorbed dose
(the absorption of 100ergs of energy per gram of matter)
(1rad = 1R of gamma exposure )

Question 5

Units for absorbed dose and conversion

Answer 5

• Gray (Gy)
• Radiation Absorbed Dose (rad)
• 1J = 10⁷ ergs
• 1Kg = 1,000g
• 1 Gy = 100 rad

Question 6

Does Equivelent

Answer 6

Absorbed Dose x RBE = Equivalent Dose

• measured in roetegen equivalent to man (rem)
• Gy x RBE = Sv
• rad x RBE = rem

Question 7

Conversions for dose equivalent

Answer 7

• 1 Sv = 100 rem

- 1 mSv = 100 mrem
