The dose unit of ionizing radiation is called the rad. The radis defined in terms of: a. the half-life of a radioisotope b. the energy deposited per gram of an object c. the biologcial damage produced d. the accumulation of fission products e. the number of ions per centimeter I think its c but I am not sure.

Explanation / Answer
The rad is a measuerof ionizing radiation . It is defined as the doseof 100 ergs of energy per gram of the given matter. So theunit rad defines the energy deposited per gram of the sample. the answer is b.
