Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The S.I unit and common unit of the activity of a radioactive sample, energy of a particle given by a nucleus, energy absorbed by the dose of radiations and dose equivalents are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The process by which unstable nuclei eject smaller nuclear fragments to achieve lower energy and higher stability is called radioactive decay.

The radionuclides are the isotopes that exhibit radioactivity.
