Question 1

What is a roentgen?

Accepted Answer

Exposure unit for X-rays/gamma in air. 1 R produces 2.58×10⁻⁴ C/kg of ionization. Largely obsolete.

Question 2

How do you convert roentgen to C/kg?

Accepted Answer

1 R = 2.58×10⁻⁴ C/kg. Modern SI uses coulombs per kilogram directly.

Question 3

What's the difference between exposure and dose?

Accepted Answer

Exposure (roentgen) measures radiation in air. Absorbed dose (gray/rad) measures energy deposited. Equivalent dose (sievert/rem) accounts for biological effect.

Question 4

What are safe radiation levels?

Accepted Answer

Background radiation: ~3 mSv/year. Occupational limit: 50 mSv/year. Single dose effects start around 250 mSv. Always follow ALARA principle.
