The Only Radiation Units You Need to Know

Can't abide the jump cuts. Typical stupid American. Scared to stop talking for three microseconds. Your understanding of physics and chemistry is not good.

that one dude who bought the hazmat suit from ukraine was getting 78840 mSv/y

we used millirem

im so sick of people trying to make crazy ways of wrapping their phone in alluminum foil to "protect" themselves from the "deadly radiation" it puts off. one lady wrapped her neck with a scarf made out of copper foil. she ended up getting copper poisoning on her neck, but hey at least she's safe from that awful EM radiation

Just a point of clarification, radio waves could damage cells by thermal ionization if they are coming out focused with plenty of photons. Just cause each individual photon can’t ionize it doesn’t mean you can’t ionize with increasing intensity. But I know you are just talking about cancer-causing mutation radiation and not burning. But I just wanted to clarify that radio frequency can cause damage if intense enough— see radio frequency ablation.

Rh best

Growing up in the 80s, we were taught about rems and rads. The new measures confuse the hell out of me and I keep having to use conversion calculators.

Thank you, this was very helpful.

No field has more units than Radiology... It's downright silly but this video is hands down the best quick explanation I've seen yet.

Everyone should know all things about these types of waves…not just these types but the types that are being studied in all types

This video is completely wrong.

From what I have read and studied and heard cell phone radiation is not completely harmless. You might want to check into that a little bit before you say it’s absolutely harmless. I did appreciate the rest of your video though thank you

Ok but whats usv/h?

Who is the presenter?

Straight to the point! Clears up a lot!

Cool !!!

No body talk about relationship between counts per minute and Sievert

I have no idea what you just said

REM's....Easy to understand.

You seem to be doing the opposite of simplifying the issue.

Roentgens were so much easier to understand. I get why they changed to sieverts, but for the average person Sv are quite complicated.

happy to know there is people out there making sure i will learn about the Only Radiation Units i need to know.

Why would i be interested in anything else, ey?

Why would i think for myself, ey?

So i am VERY happy people put out videos like these, and label them with titles like: The only .... i need to know.
As if they are me, thinking the same way as me.

In order to have a meaningful conversation about anything, it's important to respect the one you are trying to have a conversation with.
Instead of ridiculing or discrediting or namecalling or anything else like that.
but we people are very happy that you, the Almighty, are able to share with us the Only Radiation Units we need to know.

Take a hike, will ya.

Excellent guide

Amazing presentation

me with a chronic illness in my bowels.. 3 ct scans this year so 30 miliseiverts so say WHAT NOW

What's a curie tho

This. Did not help.

3.6 Roentgen is 400 Chest Xrays
Not great not terrible

Awesome. thanks!!

How do you pronounce µSv, as in individual letters?

Super explanation

Fun fact: the Soviet roentgen and the "standard" roentgen are slightly different. The Soviet one is often called the REV (roentgen equivalent value).

The measuring cups in the thumbnail are genius.

Okay, But what's the upper limit.

I can get the explanation but not the number and I want to debunk this Karen in my family that thinks her baby monitor is giving her kid cancer.

What about neutron decay

I can’t believe this video misquote the Joule definition As something independent of time ??? !!! J=N m

Guess I’ve been saying roentgen wrong all these years. I’ve been saying it “rent-gun”

I've always used rem and I'm 27 so >.>

These new terms for the same thing are idiotic.

Me and my tinfoil hat comrade disagree.

Comrade Dyatlov said it was only 3.6 Roentgen.

This video is rad! 😂

All you need to know is annual average exposure is .002 sieverts and instant death is around 300 sieverts.

Unit not small enough? No fear. Make a new unit!

If you want to be really strict, Roentgens for Ionisation chamber measurements, counts per minute/second for GM tube/Geiger measurements.
