Calculate the radiation dosage (in grays) for a 63‑kg person who is exposed for 5.0 s to a 3.0 Ci source of beta radiation. Assu

me that 100% of the radiation is absorbed and that each beta particle has an energy of 1.5×10−13 J.

Answer:

1.32142x10^-3 Gy

Explanation:

Mass m = 63kg

Time t = 5.0s

Beta energy = 1.5x19^-13J

1 Ci = 3.7x10¹⁰

3.0Ci = 3x3.7x10¹⁰

= 11.1x10¹⁰decay/s

We have a total of 11.1x10¹⁰ beta particles produced per second

The question says there is 100% absorption

Et = (11.1x10¹⁰)x5x1.5x10^-13

= 0.08325

The radiation dose = Et/m

= 0.08325/63 kg

= 0.001321428J/kg

= 0.001321428 grays

Or 1.32142x10^-3 Gy

If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y directio
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave

is given by the direction of vector E x B where E is electrical field , B is magnetic field .

Given Electric field  = E i because it is along x axis

Magnetic field = Bj because it is along y axis

E x B = Ei x Bj

= EB k .

so direction of E  x B is along k direction or z  - axis so wave is propagating along z - axis .
