To describe quantitatively the effects of radiation on a living system you must measure which of the following?
i.The number of disintegrations that occur during the time of exposure
ii.The amount of energy released with each disintegration
iii.The amount of energy absorbed by the living system

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To quantitatively describe the effects of radiation on a living system, it's necessary to measure all three aspects: the number of disintegrations (to understand the intensity of radiation exposure), the amount of energy released with each disintegration (to gauge the potential for damage), and the amount of energy actually absorbed by the living system (to determine the actual impact on the system).
