Questions and Answers

What is equivalent dose?

  • A dose quantity representing the stochastic health effects of low levels of ionizing radiation (correct)
  • A measure of radiation duration
  • A measure of radiation intensity
  • A dose quantity representing deterministic health effects of ionizing radiation

    • What unit is used to measure equivalent dose in the SI system?

  • Curie (Ci)
  • Gray (Gy)
  • Sievert (Sv) (correct)
  • Becquerel (Bq)

    • What does equivalent dose take into account in addition to absorbed dose?

  • Physical size of the radiation source
  • Distance from the radiation source
  • Time of exposure to radiation
  • Biological effectiveness of the radiation (correct)
