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

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Remains the same

Explanation:

The speed of waves of higher and lower frequency both will be same.

the speed of sound in a medium is constant  and independent of it's frequency. Moreover, when the frequency changes wavelength changes accordingly, such that their product remains constant.

we know that

υ×λ = constant = velocity

υ= frequency

λ= wavelength.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a. 1.027 x 10^7 m/s b. 3600 V c. 0 V and d. 1.08 MeV

Explanation:

a. KE =1/2 (MV^2) where the M is mass of electron

b. E = V/d

c. V= 0 V (momentarily the pd changes to zero)

d KE= 300*3600 v = 1.08 MeV
