Q551

Relative Biological Effictiveness (RBE) usually refers to the damage caused by

A.
High temperature
B.
Low temperature
C.
Radiation
Answer
D.
Freezing

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) usually refers to the damage caused by Radiation.
Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is defined as the ratio of a dose of standard radiation to the dose of test radiation to produce the same biological effects.
RBE is a relative measure of the damage done by a given type of radiation per unit of energy deposited in biological tissues.
