It takes 12 hours for the alpha source to pass through the persons digestive system and exit the body. (a) How many alpha particles are absorbed by the person (you may assume that 100% of the alpha particles emitted by the source are absorbed by the person)? (b) How much energy is deposited in the person by the source (in J)? (c) What is the absorbed dose (in rad)? (d) What is the absorbed dose (in rem)?

E c) For a radio-nuclide, a number No of atoms at time t = 0 decays as N(t) = No e¯‹, where A is the decay constant. i) Derive the relationship between the half-life t₁ and the time constant □ = = 1/λ. ii) The radio-nuclide radium-226 has a half-life of 1600 years. Calculate the activity of one gram of radium in Becquerels. iii) Radium-226 decays to radon-222, known as the daughter product. The amount of a daughter product present will vary with time, Na(t). Sketch two graphs, with appropri- ate axes and labels, to show schematically how N(t) and Na(t) evolve if Na(0) = 0, for the two extreme cases where the daughter product is much more radioactive than the parent (\d >> \) and where the daughter product is much less radioactive than the parent (\a << λ). Given that the half-life of radon-226 is 3.8 days, indicate which graph is relevant and estimate the amount of radon in equilibrium with one mole of radium.
