A body of mass of 2kg absorbed 10 J of radioactive radiations. The absorbed dose of radiation in rad is:
Correct answer: C. 500
- A. 5
- B. 5 x 10^-2
- C. 500
- D. 20
Explanation
The absorbed dose of radiation is equal to the radiation energy divided by mass, which equals 10/2= 5 J/kg in this case. Since 1 J/kg is = 100 rad, thus 5 J/kg = 500 rad.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
