Given information
The is required to produce one ion pair in air.
Show that this is consistent with the two definitions of the roentgen.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
ion pairs per gramme of dry air is one definition. The second definition is that $mathbbR$ is the quantity of ray or radiation that emits of energy per kilogramme of air. The energy deposited in the ion pairs must be equal to the energy of radiation in a kilogramme of air for these two definitions to agree. Let's see whether this is correct. ion pairs per gramme of dry air is one definition. The second definition is that is the quantity of ray or $gamma$ radiation that emits of energy per kilogramme of air. The energy deposited in the ion pairs must match these two definitions.
