- What is called radioactivity? How is this concept different from nuclear transformations?
- Write down the law of radioactive decay. Give a characteristic of the quantities included in the law.
- What is decay constant λ? What is half-life?
- What is called activity, specific activity? In what units is it measured? How does the activity of an isotope change over time?
- What is alpha radiation? What features does it have?
- Give a characterization of radioactive emissions.
- What biophysical effects does ionizing radiation have on living tissue?
- What are the characteristics of the interaction of charged particles with matter?
- What processes accompany the passage of ionizing radiation through a substance?
- What possible changes in a cell can occur under the influence of ionizing radiation?
- Give the definition of "radiation dose". In what units is it measured?
- What is the radiation dose rate (P)? For what purpose is this concept introduced? In what units is P measured?
- For what purpose is the definition "exposure dose X" introduced?
- What is the formula that can be used to calculate the exposure dose generated by a point source? In what units is the exposure dose measured?
- For what purpose is the concept of "equivalent dose H" introduced? What is Quality Factor or RBE? In what units is the equivalent dose measured?
- How are the doses related to each other: radiation (D), exposure (X), equivalent (H)? Explain the meaning of the dose linking factors.
