- Calculate the effective radiation dosage (in Sieverts) for a 81-kg person who is exposed to 1.9 x 109 particles of alpha radiation. Assume that 79% of the radiation is absorbed, each alpha particle has an energy of 6.2 x 10-13 J, and that the RBE of the alpha particles is 15. Note that RBE is sometimes called the quality factor, abbreviated as Q.A particular radioactive source produces 100 mrad of 2-MeV gamma rays per hour at a distance of 1.0 m. (a) How long could a person stand at this distance before accumulating an intolerable dose of 1 rem? (b) Assuming the gamma radiation is emitted uniformly in all directions, at what distance would a person recieve a dose of 10 mrad/h from this source? dont provode hand written solutionSmugglers. Rumor has it that a company has been smuggling gold out of the country using sealed, cylindrical barrels with hollow walls. They pour molten gold into the hollows, and then fill the remainder of the barrel's internal volume with packing peanuts. The total mass of the gold-walled barrel was designed so that it exactly matches those used to transport a volatile chemical that cannot be exposed to air (and therefore the barrel cannot be opened and checked). The X-ray machine usually used to screen containers is suspiciously damaged and not available. TUL (a) There are 20 barrels total, and they are all identical: mass m = 50.0 kg, height h = 1.2 m, and diameter D = 0.25 m. How do you determine which ones have walls filled with gold (and are essentially hollow on the interior except for packing peanuts) and those completely filled with the volatile chemical (a tightly-packed powder) where the mass is uniformly distributed? Hint: apply the concepts of moment of inertia. Is the…
- In proton beam therapy, a beam of high-energy protons is used to deliver radiation to a tumor, killing its cancerous cells. In one session, the radiologist calls for a dose of 4.9 x 108 protons to be delivered at a beam current of 120 nA. How long should the beam be turned on to deliver this dose?Tungsten has a linear attenuation coefficient of 30.5/cm for gamma rays with 150 keV of energy. If an unshielded Tc-99m syringe has a radiation exposure rate (I(0)) of 34 mR/hr, what will be the exposure rate if a 0.25-cm tungsten shield is placed around it? Using the calculation above, how much (what percent) is transmitted through the shield? What percent is attenuated?Alpha particles of kinetic energy 6.9M V are incident at a rate of 3.1x 10" per second on a copper foil of thickness 3.1 x 10-m. A circular detector of diameter 1.0cm is placed 13cm from the foil at an angle of 30° with the direction of the incident alpha particles. At what rate does the detector measure scattered alpha particles? (The molar mass of copper is 63.5 and its density is 8.9em-)
