The 'rad' is the correct unit used to report the measurement of:

  1. A
    the rate of decay of a radioactive source
  2. B
    the ability of a beam of gamma ray photons to produce ions in a target
  3. C
    the energy delivered by radiation to a target
  4. D
    the biological effect of radiation

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

- rad (radiation absorbed dose): Measures the amount of radiation energy absorbed by a material or tissue.rem (roentgen equivalent man): Measures the biological effect (damage) of radiation.However, in common terminology of the AIEEE 2006 era, "rad" was often associated with absorbed dose, and "rem" with biological effect.Correction based on FIITJEE key: Option (4) suggests biological effect. This depends on whether "rad" or "rem" is being distinguished. Usually, rad is for absorbed dose ().
