Energy transfer can be done by?
- doing work
- heat transfer
different types of energy transfer
- Chemical
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Nuclear
- Radiant
- Thermal
What is the energy stored in a specific object or molecule?
potential energy
What is the energy possessed by an object in motion?
kinetic energy
What is energy transfer by doing work?
requires an agent exert a force on an object over a distance when work is done, energy is transferred from the agent to object, which results in a change in the objects motion
What is the Energy transfer by direct contact that occurs when molecules hit against each other; best in metals.
conduction
what is the energy transfer from warmer object to cooler object?
heat transfer
What are the types of heat transfer?
- Conduction
- Convection
- Radiation
What is transfer is the movement of heat by a fluid; heat is carried by currents?
convection
radiation heat transfer
99% heat
1% radiation
What is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves; does not need matter to transfer?
radiation
What is radiation energy transfer?
Energy emitted as photons or EM waves; doesn’t need a medium.
What types of photons are involved in radiation energy transfer?
Alpha, gamma, neutron, beta, x-ray
What is diathermy?
Use of non-ionizing radiation for therapeutic purposes like increasing blood flow in stroke patients.
Physical factors that affect radiosensitivity
- Linear energy transfer (LET)
- Relative biologic effectiveness (RBE)
What is the measure of energy transfer rate from ionizing radiation to soft tissue?
LET
What is the ratio of the dose of standard radiation necessary to produce a given effect to the dose of test radiation needed for the same effect?
RBE
what is the most sensitive part of our body in radiation?
Gonads
How are LET and RBE related?
Directly proportional kasiiii
High LET = High RBE
high absorption = low energy level
high scattering = high energy level
high transfer = equal energy level
walang sagot intindihin mo lang letse ka
2 ways of LET
- Fractionation
- Protraction
the dose is continuously delivered to the patient and divided per session
Fractionation
the total duration treatment it depends on the no, of days between the 1st and last session
Protraction
isa pa to intindihin mo lang relationships letse
TATAAS O BABABA
x-ray: high energy, high penetrability, low LET
gamma: high energy, high penetrability, low LET
alpha: high energy, low penetrability, high LET
beta: low energy, high penetrability, high LET
