Radiography Formulas1

This document provides formulas and values used in radiography. It includes the half-value thickness of Ir192 for steel (13.0 mm), lead (5.5 mm), and concrete (43.0 mm). The radioactive isotope decay formula shows how the number of curies decreases over time based on the isotope's half-life. Safe distance and exposure time formulas are also presented along with conversion factors between units like curies, grays, and sieverts.
