Chapter 10, Problem 10.4E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The dose equivalent of beta particles that the tissue absorbed has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

The dose equivalent of a particle is calculated as,

  $\text{Dose}\text{equivalent=Q×D}$

Where D is the absorbed dose.

The absorbed dose can be calculated as,

  $\text{D=}\frac{\text{E}}{\text{M}}$

Where E is the energy of the particle absorbed.

M is the mass of the particle absorbed.
