Recall rem = rad x q radiation weighting factor (q): the ability to transfer energy to the body 1 for photons 1 for electrons 2

for protons 20 for alpha particles, fission fragments, and heavy ions 2 to 20 for neutrons, depending on the energy level suppose two people are exposed to equal doses of radiation (equal number of rads) inside their bodies. suppose that the first person is exposed to alpha radiation, while the second person is exposed to protons. how many times worse is the biological risk for the first person than the second as a result of radiation weighting?

The biological risk for the first person than the second as a result of radiation weighting is 10 times.

<h3>What is radiation weighting factor?</h3>

As stated in the question, radiation weighting factor (q) is the ability to transfer energy to the body.

If radiation factor of proton = 2, and radiation factor of alpha particles = 20.

  • First person is exposed to alpha radiation = 20
  • Second person is exposed to protons = 2

Risk of first person with respect to second person = 20/2 = 10 times higher

How do atoms form a new substance?
dezoksy [38]
            <span> Atoms combine as the electrons from each atom are attracted to the nuclei of the atoms. This results in bonds ranging from 100% covalent to bonds with high ionic character. The combination of atoms to form compounds occurs when the compounds being formed are at lower energy than the original atoms.</span>

Why might an idea or hypothesis be discarded? A. If another scientist doesn't like it. B. If evidence also supports another hypo
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

C. If it is tested and the evidence does not support it.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is more less a scientific guess. Before such a guess or prediction is made, empirical observations and deductions are first made. It is from the result of the observations that a hypothesis statement is made.

For a hypothesis to become widely adopted and accepted, it must be testable within the limits of the experiment as described by the proposer. When subjected to test and it agrees, the status of a hypothesis can be upgraded.

If the hypothesis is tested and evidence contrasts the result being sort for, a hypothesis will be discarded.
