Get started for freeA chest x ray uses 10 keV photons with an RBE of 0.85. A 60 kg person receives a 0.30 mSv dose from one chest x ray that exposes 25% of the patient’s body. How many x ray photons are absorbed in the patient’s body?
The three isotopes
Which of these isotopes would be most useful as a biological tracer? Why?Calculate (in ) the binding energy per nucleon for and . Which is more tightly bound?
A sample contains radioactive atoms of two types, A and B. Initially there are five times as many A atoms as there are B atoms. Two hours later, the numbers of the two atoms are equal. The half-life of A is 0.50 hour. What is the half-life of B?
Could a nucleus fission into two nuclei? Your answer, which should include some calculations, should be based on the curve of binding energy.
