What is the difference between absorbed dose and equivalent dose?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
sorbed dose (also known as total ionizing dose, TID) is a measure of the energy deposited in a medium by ionizing radiation. It is equal to the energy deposited per unit mass of medium, and so has the unit J/kg, which is given the special name gray (Gy).
ote that the absorbed dose is not a good indicator of the likely biological effect. 1 Gy of alpha radiation would be much more biologically damaging than 1 Gy of photon radiation for example. Appropriate weighting factors can be applied reflecting the different relative biological effects to find the dose equivalent.
Dose equivalent= absorbed dose x radiation weighting factor( or quality factor).

What are the units of measurement for radiation?
rad ------- Dose equivalent: sievert (Sv) Absorbed dose/time: gray/second (Gy/s) Absorbed dose: gray Exposition: coulomb/kilogram (C/kg)
How do you measure absorbed dose?
Absorbed dose is the amount of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of irradiated material.
What is the difference between a vaccine and a booster?
The difference between a vaccine and a booster is the time it is given. A vaccine is primarily referred to as the first dose of a medicine to prevent disease. A booster is a dose given after the initial dose to strengthen the effect of the first dose.

When an absorbed dose of radiation is multiplied by a quality factor the exposure (dose) to a person is reported in?
REM's or Sieverts
When an absorbed dose of radiation is multiplied by a quality factor the exposure dose to a person is reported in?
REM's or Sieverts
The rem is a unit used to measure?
Radiation dose in terms of the amount of the biological effect caused by the amount of energy absorbed
