Gamma-ray detectors like the one described in the preceding problem often use calorimetry to determine gamma-ray energies. Suppose a beam of 100-MeV gamma rays strikes a target with a mass of 2.5 kg and specific heat 430 J/(kg . K). How many gamma rays are needed to raise the target’s temperature by 10 mK?
