Question

If a person's entire body is exposed to 4.6J/kg of x rays, death usually follows within a few days.

A) Express this lethal radiation dose in Gy.

B) Express this lethal radiation dose in rad.

C) Express this lethal radiation dose Sv.

D) Express this lethal radiation dose in rem.

E) How much total energy does a 66.5 kg person absorb from such a dose?

F) If the 4.6J/kg came from a beam of protons instead of x rays, what would be dose in Gy?

G) If the 4.6J/kg came from a beam of protons instead of x rays, what would be dose in rad?

H) If the 4.6J/kg came from a beam of protons instead of x rays, what would be dose in Sv?

I) If the 4.6J/kg came from a beam of protons instead of x rays, what would be dose in rem?

J) If the 4.6J/kg came from a beam of protons instead of x rays. How much total energy does a 66.5 kg person absorb from such a dose?

A) 1 J/kg = 1Gy

so 4.6 J/kg = 4.6 Gy

B) 1 J/kg = 100 rad

so 4.6 J/kg = 460 rad

C) 1 J/kg = 1 Sv

so 4.6 J/kg = 4.6 Sv

D) 1 J/kg = 100 rem

so 4.6 = 460 rem
