Question

Jack was exposed to fast neutrons and he received an equivalent radiation dose of   0.27   Sv on one of his fingers, affecting 23 g of tissue. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of these neutrons (based on their energy) is RBE= 12 .

(a) What was the absorbed dose received by Jack?

Express your answer in Grays to three significant figures.

(b) What was the total energy of the radiation Jack received?

Express your answer in Joules to three significant figures.

(c) Suppose Jill received the same absorbed dose, but from beta rays with an RBE of   1.00   instead of from neutrons. What is the value of the equivalent dose she received?

Express your answer in Sieverts to three significant figures.
