Question

Which of the following statements are correct? select all that apply.

- if a person receives the same dose equivalent from two different types of nuclear radiation, then both types of radiation do the same amount of damage to her tissues.
- if a person receives the same dose from two different types of nuclear radiation, then she absorbs the same amount of energy per kilogram for both types of radiation.
- if a person receives the same dose from two different types of nuclear radiation, then both types of radiation do the same amount of damage to her tissues.
- if a person receives the same dose equivalent from two different types of nuclear radiation, then she absorbs the same amount of energy per kilogram for both types of radiation

Answer 1

The correct statements are: Option B and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the given statements, the correct ones are:

if a person receives the same dose from two different types of nuclear radiation, then she absorbs the same amount of energy per kilogram for both types of radiation.

if a person receives the same dose equivalent from two different types of nuclear radiation, then both types of radiation do the same amount of damage to her tissues.

The absorbed dose (energy per kilogram): This is the amount of energy deposited in a material per unit mass. If a person receives the same dose from two different types of radiation, it means they absorb the same amount of energy per kilogram for both types.

Dose equivalent (Sv): It takes into account the biological effectiveness of different types of radiation. If a person receives the same dose equivalent from two different types of nuclear radiation, it implies that both types of radiation do the same amount of damage to her tissues, considering the varying biological effects of different types of radiation.
