Calculate the absorbed dose in gy to the skin of a person

Reference no: EM13341996

Calculate the absorbed dose in Gy to the skin of a person which receives 1500 ergs/gm of beta radiation from a cloud of radioactive krypton-85 gas. Recalculate the dose if the same energy were deposited by the betas from a xenon-133 gas cloud.
