Question

question 9 points 1
1 rem =
10 sv
0.01 sv
0.01 gy
10 gy

Explanation:

The rem (roentgen equivalent in man) is a unit of dose - equivalent. The relationship between rem and sievert (Sv) is that \(1\space rem = 0.01\space Sv\). The gray (Gy) is a unit of absorbed dose, and rem and Gy are related by the quality factor \(Q\) (\(H = Q\times D\), where \(H\) is dose - equivalent in rem or Sv, and \(D\) is absorbed dose in rad or Gy). But for the direct conversion of rem to Sv (assuming \(Q = 1\) for simplicity in the unit - conversion context here), the key conversion is \(1\space rem=0.01\space Sv\).

Answer:

\(0.01\space Sv\)
