The rad (radiation absorbed dose)is defined as the absorption of 0.01 J of radiant energy per kilogram (0.01 J/kg)of body weight.What is the radiation dose for a 50 kg woman exposed to 0.85 J of energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula to calculate the radiation dose in rad is:

Rad = Energy absorbed (Joules) / Mass (kg) x 100

Using the given values:

Rad = 0.85 J / 50 kg x 100
Rad = 1.7 rad

Therefore, the radiation dose for a 50 kg woman exposed to 0.85 J of energy is 1.7 rad. The correct choice is C.

The Rad (Radiation Absorbed Dose)is Defined as the Absorption of 0.01
