Question

Which descriptions apply to emitted radiation? Check all that apply.

measurement in Ci/Bq

measurement in conventional rad or the SI Gy

the amount of radioactive materials released into the environment.

number of disintegrations of radioactive atoms in a radioactive material over a period of time

absorbed dose (the amount of energy deposited per unit of mass of human tissue)

Answer 1

Select:
- measurement in Ci/Bq — Yes
- number of disintegrations of radioactive atoms in a radioactive material over a period of time — Yes

Do not select:
- measurement in conventional rad or the SI Gy — No (those are absorbed dose units)
- the amount of radioactive materials released into the environment — No (that describes a release/contamination amount)
- absorbed dose (the amount of energy deposited per unit of mass of human tissue) — No (that is absorbed dose)
