单词 roentgen
释义
roentgen

Physics
  • The former unit of dose equivalent (see radiation units). It is named after the discoverer of X-rays, W. K. Roentgen.


Space Exploration
  • A unit of radiation exposure, used for X-rays and gamma rays. It is defined in terms of the number of ions produced in one cubic centimetre of air by the radiation. Exposure to 1 000 roentgens gives rise to an absorbed dose of about 870 rads (8.7 grays), which is a dose equivalent of 870 rems (8.7 sieverts).

    The annual dose equivalent from natural sources in the UK is 1 100 microsieverts.


Chemistry
  • The former unit of dose equivalent (see radiation units). It is named after the discoverer of X-rays, Wilhelm Roentgen (1845–1923).


Chemical Engineering
  • A unit of measurement for ionizing electromagnetic radiation from X-rays and gamma rays, defined as the charge in air of 2.58 × 10−4 coulombs on all ions of one sign when all the electrons of both signs liberated are completely stopped by a mass of one kilogram of air. It is named after German physicist Wilhelm Konrad Röentgen (1845–1923) who discovered X-rays. A lethal dose to humans corresponds to an exposure of 200 roentgens over a five-hour period. The unit is no longer used.


Biology
  • The former unit of dose equivalent (see radiation units). It is named after the discoverer of X-rays, W. K. Roentgen (1845–1923).
