PPP Exercise 6D

1.       Using the table from Ex 6C (q6), find the absorbed equivalent dose for the following radiation exposures.

 


2. A student breaks his arm during a PE lesson. The break is x-rayed and the absorbed dose he receives is 20 μGy. Calculate the equivalent dose he receives. (Use the weighting factors given in the table in question 78.)

3. Calculate the equivalent dose if someone received an absorbed dose of 10mGy from slow neutrons.

4. A technician with a mass of 60 kg absorbs 200 μJ of alpha radiation.

(a) Calculate the absorbed dose she receives.

(b) Calculate the equivalent dose she receives.

5. A patient receives an absorbed dose of 10 μGy from fast neutrons. Calculate the equivalent dose received.
