radiation dose

What Factors Affect Radiation Dose?

Several factors can influence radiation dose, including:
Type of Radiation: Alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation each have different penetrating powers and biological effects.
Duration of Exposure: Longer exposure increases the dose received.
Distance from Source: The intensity of radiation decreases with distance from the source, according to the inverse square law.
Shielding: Materials like lead or concrete can absorb radiation and reduce exposure.
