For a material to be a good conductor, the electricity passed through it must be able to move the electrons; the more free electrons in a metal, the greater its conductivity.

the average american receives 2.28 mSv dose equivalent from radon each year. Assuming you receive this dose, and it all comes fr

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The approximate number of decays this represent is $N= 23*10^{10}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The amount of Radiation received by an average american is $I_a = 2.28 \ mSv$

The source of the radiation is $S = 5.49 MeV \ alpha \ particle$

Generally

$1 \ J/kg = 1000 mSv$

Therefore $2.28 \ mSv = \frac{2.28}{1000} = 2.28 *10^{-3} J/kg$

Also $1eV = 1.602 *10^{-19}J$

Therefore $2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} = 2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} * \frac{1ev}{1.602*10^{-19} J} = 1.43*10^{16} ev/kg$

An Average american weighs 88.7 kg

The total energy received is mathematically evaluated as

$1 kg ------> 1.423*10^{16}ev \\88.7kg --------> x$

Cross-multiplying and making x the subject

$x = 88.7 * 1.423*10^{16} eV$

$x = 126.2*10^{16}eV$

Therefore the total energy deposited is $x = 126.2*10^{16}eV$

The approximate number of decays this represent is mathematically evaluated as

N = $\frac{x}{S}$

Where n is the approximate number of decay

Substituting values

$N = \frac{126 .2*10^{16}}{5.49*10^6}$

$N= 23*10^{10}$
