Radiation cause damage in:
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. Cell
- B. Skin
- C. Hair
- D. All of these
Explanation
The dosage of radiations is measured in sieverts or microsieverts given by the formula:De = D x RBE where D = energy from radiation / mass of object

About Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic waves consist of mutually perpendicular, oscillating electric and magnetic fields that also remain perpendicular to the direction of propagation. They travel through vacuum at the speed of light and include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. Unlike mechanical waves, they do not require a material medium.
