Find how many protons are absorbed by the tissue

Reference no: EM13556563

In an experimental radiation therapy, an equivalent dose of 0.400rem is given to a localized area of tissue with a mass of 0.120kg by 0.800MeV protons. How many protons are absorbed by the tissue? How many alpha particles of the same energy of 0.800MeV are required to deliver the same equivalent dose of 0.400rem?
