Which outcome results when high-speed spacecraft propulsion relies on equivalent mass-energy conversion?

💡 Explanation

Increased radiation exposure results because mass-energy 'equivalence' converts propellant into energy. Thrust is achieved via particle emission; this inherently creates high-energy radiation. Therefore, radiation increases, rather than conversion failing or direct fuel change at relativistic velocities.
