a) 0.25 mm
b) 2.5 mm
c) 25 mm
d) 250 mm
View Answer
Explanation: X – Rays are high energy radiations and cause damage to the body if exposed for long periods of time. Thus, it is important to wear protective materials to reduce the exposure and damage from the X – Rays. Since lead can be used to block X – Rays, a lead jacket of 0.25 mm is used. The front and back of 0.25 mm make the total thickness to be 0.5 mm.
8. Who is the authority on laying the guidelines for Radioactive exposure?
a) Defense Research And Development Organization
b) Bhabha Atomic Research Center
c) Atomic Energy Regulation Board
d) Indian Space Research Organization
View Answer
Explanation: AERB sets up standards for regulation of the radioactive materials for use by hospitals and other facilities.
