Compute the effective radiation dosage

Reference no: EM13275797

Calculate the effective radiation dosage (in Sieverts) for a 85-kg person who is exposed to 7.3 × 109 particles of alpha radiation. Assume that 85% of the radiation is absorbed, each alpha particle has an energy of 6.0× 10-13 J, and that the RBE of the alpha particles is 15. Note that RBE is sometimes abbreviated as Q.
