Absorbed dose, D, is defined as the energy absorbed from ionization radiation per unit?
Correct answer: A. Mass
- A. Mass
- B. Charge
- C. Time
- D. Area
Explanation
The effect of radiation on a body absorbing it relates to a quantity called absorbed dose (D). It is defined as the energy absorbed from ionizing radiation per unit "mass" "m" of the absorbing body. D = E/m. The SI unit is gray (Gy) defined as one joule per kilogram.

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.
