College Physics I – Introduction
Deterministic effects are biological responses to radiation exposure that have a clear threshold dose and increase in severity with increasing dose. These effects are predictable and occur after a certain level of radiation exposure, typically associated with high doses in a short period of time. Understanding deterministic effects is essential in contexts like X-ray applications, where ensuring safety and minimizing harm from radiation is critical.
