(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Number of (rad) (Dose) received by 265 g rat has to be determined using the given data.

Concept Introduction:

Radiation Dose is the dose quantity that explains the effects of ionizing radiation. It describes the quantity of radiation energy that is absorbed by a matter.

  Dose = Energy(Joules)Weight(kg)

The units commonly used to measure dose are gray (Gy) and rad.

  1 Gy = 1 J/kg1 rad = 0.01 J/kg = 0.01 Gy

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Number of Gray (Dose) received by 265 g rat has to be determined using the given data.

Concept Introduction:

Radiation Dose is the dose quantity that explains the effects of ionizing radiation. It describes the quantity of radiation energy that is absorbed by a matter.

  Dose = Energy(Joules)Weight(kg)

The units commonly used to measure dose are gray (Gy) and rad.

  1 Gy = 1 J/kg1 rad = 0.01 J/kg = 0.01 Gy

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Number of sieverts (Sv) received by 265 g rat has to be determined using the given data.

Concept Introduction:

Radiation Dose is the dose quantity that explains the effects of ionizing radiation. It describes the quantity of radiation energy that is absorbed by a matter.

The units commonly used to measure dose are gray (Gy) and rad.

  1 Gy = 1 J/kg1 rad = 0.01 J/kg = 0.01 Gy

The tissue damage caused by the radiation depends on the exposure time, strength of the radiation and tissue type. Tissue damage can be determined by multiplying dose that is absorbed with RBE (Relative Biological Effectiveness).

The two units used to measure amount of damaged tissue in a person is rem(Roentgen Equivalent for Man) and sievert(Sv.)

  No. of rem = no. of rads×RBE1 Sv = 100 rem
