Answer to Problem 1FC

The correct option is (c) rems.

Explanation of Solution

Formula used:

Write the expression for a biologically equivalent dose.

Biologically equivalent dose (in rems)=Absorbed dose (in rads)×RBE (1)

Here,

RBE is relative biological effectiveness.

Explanation:

From Equation (1), the biologically equivalent dose is understood to be a product of absorbed dose and relative biological effectiveness. The absorbed dose is specified in the units of rads and the biologically equivalent dose is measured in the units of rems.

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct option is (c) rems.
