radiation measurement

Radiation measurement involves quantifying the energy released by radioactive materials or other sources. This is typically done using instruments called dosimeters or Geiger counters, which detect and count the particles or waves (like gamma rays) emitted. The measurements often are expressed in units like sieverts or rems, indicating the potential biological impact of exposure, or in becquerels or curies, showing the amount of radioactive material. Accurate measurement helps assess safety levels, regulate exposure, and ensure that radiation use in medicine, industry, or energy is managed safely.
