Fundamentals of Radiation Dosimetry
摘要
Radiation is considered as flow of energy or radiant energy. Energy and mass are equivalent according to Einstein’s equation E = mc2. All matter possesses dual properties of wave and particle according to de Broglie’s theorem of matter wave (Number Analytics, 2025). Radiation can be considered as either flow of particles or propagation of waves interchangeably as illustrated in Fig. 2.1. The flow of particles is convenient in describing energy transfer in radiation dosimetry (ICRU, 2011).
