Answer:
4) Long exposure to low-energy radiation could give the same dose as a short burst of high-energy radiation.
Explanation:
When it comes to ionizing radiation, absorption should be kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). This can be achieved by control of time spent in the vicinity of the source, the distance to the source and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
A short burst of high-energy radiation releases or generates a high radiation dose in a short time frame. This can also be achieved due to long exposure to low-energy radiation, which results into the gradual accumulation of the dose.
Answer : The final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J
Solution :
(1) The equation used is,
where,
= final internal energy
= initial internal energy
q = heat energy
w = work done
(2) The known variables are, q, w and
initial internal energy = = 2000 J
heat energy = q = 1000 J
work done = w = 500 J
(3) Now plug the numbers into the equation, we get
(4) By solving the terms, we get
(5) Therefore, the final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J
