Problem 3 Superman has just recieved 1.7 Sy of radiation over his entire body from alpha particles (RBE = 12) (A) If Superman's mass is 100 kg, how much energy did he receive from this dose? (B) Captain Marvel has a mass of 75 kg. How many grays would she receive if she absorbed the same amount of energy over her body? (C) How many Sy would she receive if the damage was caused by beta particles (RBE 1.5)? By...
A worker in a radiation lab recieves a whole-body radiation dose of 21 mrad. Her mass is 75 kg. The radiation delivered by alpha particles for which the RBE is 12. 1) What was the total energy absorbed by her body? Eabsorbed = 2) What was her equivalent absorbed dose in mREM? Doseeq= 3) As a normal employee, your allowable equivalent dose for an entire year is around 500 mREM. What percentage of of her annual dose did this employee...
Q a)An 83.0–kg man receives an effective dose of 2.40 mSv/year from constant exposure to 226Ra. Each 226Ra decay emits a 4.80–MeV α particle with an RBE of 20. How many alpha particles does he absorb each year? b)Calculate the mass of 226Ra needed to generate the alpha particles in problem above
