About Radiation Exposure Units
Radiation exposure units quantify ionizing radiation in air, primarily for X-rays and gamma rays:
- Roentgen (R) and its submultiples (mR, μR) measure ionizing radiation exposure in air.
- Coulomb per kilogram (C/kg) is the SI unit for exposure.
Radiation Exposure Units
Radiation exposure is a measure of the ionization produced in air by X-rays or gamma rays. This measurement is fundamental in radiation physics and protection, particularly for characterizing radiation fields and calibrating detection equipment. Understanding exposure units is essential for accurate radiation measurement and safety protocols.
- Roentgen (R): Measures ionizing radiation exposure in air, primarily for X-rays and gamma rays. Includes submultiples like milliroentgen (mR) and microroentgen (μR).
- Coulomb per kilogram (C/kg): The SI unit for exposure, representing the electric charge liberated per unit mass of air by ionizing radiation.
Understanding and correctly using these units is vital for accurate radiation measurement, ensuring safety, and facilitating research and application in nuclear science and medicine.
