Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A 55gram laboratory mouse is given to be exposed to 20.5rad of radiation. The amount of energy absorbed by laboratory mouse body is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:Radiation exposure can be measured by different ways. One such method includes the measurement of energy actually absorbed by body tissue. The unit used for such type of exposure measurement isgray (Gy). It corresponds to one joule of energy absorbed per kilogram of body tissue.

To determine:The amount of energy absorbed by mouse’s body.
