Three persons: a man (mass 70 kg), a woman (50kg) and a child (20 kg) have been irradiated. The body of each person has absorbed 108 molecules of energy E = 2 MeV. Calculate an absorbed dose for each person.
Homework Answers
In the most layman term, absorbed dose means the amounts of energy that passes/deposited in mass.
Absorbed Dose= Energy(j)/Mass(kg)
The measurement unit of absorbed dose of radiation is Gray(Gy)
The absorbed dose of,
- A man- 70Kg
Absorbed Dose= Energy/Mass= 108 j/70 Kg
Absorbed Dose for the man= 1.54 Gy
- A woman- 50Kg
Absorbed Dose= Energy/Mass= 108 j/50 Kg
Absorbed Dose for the woman= 2.16 Gy
- A Child- 20 Kg
Absorbed Dose= Energy/ Mass= 108 j/20 Kg
Absorbed Dose for the child= 5.4 Gy

If naturally occurring 40K is responsible for a dose equivalent of 0.16 mSv/y of background radiation, calculate the mass of 40K that must be inside the 59 kg body of a woman to produce this dose. Assume that each 40K decay emits a 1.30 MeV β, and that 40% of this energy is absorbed inside the body. The half life of 40K is 1.25 × 109 years.
Naturally occurring 40K is listed as responsible for 33 mrem/y of background radiation. Calculate the mass...
Naturally occurring 40K is listed as responsible for 33 mrem/y of background radiation. Calculate the mass of 40K in grams that must be inside the 63 kg body of a woman to produce this dose. Each 40K decay emits a 1.32 MeV B, and 58% of the energy is absorbed inside the body. Xg

A 70 kg laboratory worker is exposed to a 1.48 GBq 27 Co sou body has a cross sectional area of 1.5 m2 and is normally about 4 60 rce. Assume the person's .0 m from the source for hours per day. 27 Co emits y rays of energy 1.33 MeV and 1.17 MeV in quick succession. Approximately 50% of the rays interact with the body and deposit their energy. The rest just pass through (a) (b) What effective dose...
