A person is exposed to ionizing radiation which deposits 10 J of energy in their tissue. (a) What dose (in Gy) would an 80 kg adult and a 15 kg child receive under these circumstances? (b) What dose (in rem) would the adult and child each receive if the radiation were low energy (< 0.03MeV) β radiation? (c) What dose (in Sv) would the adult and child each receive if the radiation were low energy α radiation? (RBE)=10.)
