**Quiz Question: Measuring Biologically Effective Radiation Dose****Question:**Which of the following is a unit used for measuring the biologically effective radiation dose that will cause tissue damage to an organism?**Options:**1. ☉ Radiation absorbed dose (rad)2. ☐ Curies (Ci)3. ☐ Becquerels (Bq)4. ☐ Grays (Gy)5. ☐ Sieverts (Sv) or roentgen equivalents for man (Rem)### Explanation:This question is designed to test your knowledge of units used in radiation measurement. Each option represents a different unit employed in the field of radiology and radiological protection:1. **Radiation absorbed dose (rad)**: - Traditional unit used to measure the amount of energy absorbed by a material from radiation.2. **Curies (Ci)**: - Unit used to describe the activity of radioactive substances.3. **Becquerels (Bq)**: - SI unit for radioactive decay, defined as one disintegration per second.4. **Grays (Gy)**: - SI unit used to quantify the absorption of radiation dose.5. **Sieverts (Sv) or roentgen equivalents for man (Rem)**: - Units used to reflect both the amount of radiation absorbed and the biological effect of that radiation on human tissue. This is the correct answer for the unit measuring biologically effective radiation dose.### Correct Answer:- ☉ Sieverts (Sv) or roentgen equivalents for man (Rem)---

Hence option (c) is correct answer

The intensity of radioactivity depends on the distance of the recipient from the source of radiation and follows an inverse square law. Suppose an object receives 2340 millirem of radiation when it is 10 meters from the source, calculate the distance if the object is now exposed to 135 millirem.
Charcoal samples from Stonehenge in England were burned in O2, and the resultant CO2 gas bubbled into a solution of Ca1OH22 (limewater), resulting in the precipitation of CaCO3. The CaCO3 was removed by filtration and dried. A 788-mg sample of the CaCO3 had a radioactivity of 1.5 * 10-2 Bq due to carbon-14. By comparison, living organisms undergo 15.3 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. Using the half-life of carbon-14, 5700 yr, calculate the age of the charcoal sample.
