(b)
Dose per year in sieverts for
To Compare: The obtained value with
(b)
Answer to Problem 63GP
Dose per year in sieverts for
The obtained value is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Energy of beta particle,
Mass of person,
Quality factor (
The adult body contained
Formula used:
The of deposition of energy,
The formula of effective does,
Calculation:
The conversion of energy from MeV to Joule is,
The rate of energy deposition is,
The dose rate per second for
The dose rate per year is calculated as,
The dose in Sv/year is,
Now, comparing the obtained value with
Converting in percentage,
The obtained value is
Conclusion:
The obtained value is
