Notebook 1

This document contains information about various quantities and units used in physics and radiology. It lists the names and symbols for base SI units like the kilogram, meter, and second. It also provides units for derived quantities like electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity. The second section lists additional units used to measure absorbed dose, charge, electric potential, dose equivalent, and other radiological and electromagnetic quantities. The final section shows traditional and SI units for exposure, absorbed dose, dose equivalent, and activity, along with conversion factors between unit types.
