Oct 2, 2018 · 6. 6 Two types of radiation effects Stochastic effects • Where the severity of the result is the same but the probability of occurrence increases with radiation dose, e.g., development of cancer • There is no threshold for stochastic effects • Examples: cancer, hereditary effects Deterministic effects • Where the severity depends upon the radiation dose, e.g., skin burns • The higher ...
Feb 12, 2012 · Radiation Absorbed Dose Units • Radiation absorbed dose is the amount of energy deposited per unit of tissue. • It is usually measured in ergs per gram or joules per kilogram. Radiation Effective Dose Units • International Unit • sievert (Sv) • U.S. Unit • rem • 1 rem = 0.01 Sv • 1 mrem = 0.01 mSv • 1 µrem = 0.01 µSv.
Mar 18, 2011 · An introduction to ionising radiation. What is it?, units, measurement, health effects, control. The traditional unit of activity has been the Curie (Ci), where one Curie = 3.7 x 1010 disintegration's per second. The traditional unit of absorbed dose is the rad, where 1 Gray = 100 rads.

Mar 18, 2014 · • Radiation that does not have enough energy to break chemical bonds but can vibrate atom is referred to as “Non-ionizing Radiations” e.g. radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light etc. • Radiation that has enough energy to break chemical bonds is referred to as 'ionizing radiation, e.g. alpha particles, beta particles, gamma ...
Jan 26, 2015 · Resource type: Worksheet/Activity. File previews. doc, 70 KB. This worksheet gives a brief overview of three uses of radioactivity (alpha particles in smoke detectors, beta particles for measuring sheet thicknesses, gamma rays for sterilising medical equipment). Requires students to work out which type of radiation would be best for each use.
