- Suppose one load irradiation plant uses a 137Cs source while another uses an equal activity of 60Co. Assuming equal fractions of the (rays from the sources are absorbed, why is more time needed to get the same dose using me 137Cs source?arrow_forwardIf a patient receives a dose with an activity of 37.5 mCi of technetium-99m for cardiac imaging, how much radioactivity will be left in the patient’s body 72 hours after injection?arrow_forwardSuppose one food irradiation plant uses a 137 Cs source while another uses an equal activity of 60 Co . Assuming equal fractions of the γ rays from the sources are absorbed, why is more time needed to get the same dose using the 137 Cs source?arrow_forward
- Chromium-51 is used in imaging red blood cells and has an effective half-life of 27 days. If a dose with an activity of 24 μCiμCi is given to a patient, how long will it take for the patient to have less than 3 μCiμCi present?arrow_forwardgiven 4hrs of 80dBA exposure ,2hrs of90 dBA exposure and 2hrs of 85 dBA exposure,what is the % dose? is this person overexposed to noisearrow_forwardCalculate the dose in Sv to the chest of a patient given anx-ray under the following conditions. The x-ray beam intensityis 1.50 W/m2 , the area of the chest exposed is0.0750 m2 , 35.0% of the x-rays are absorbed in 20.0 kg oftissue, and the exposure time is 0.250 s.arrow_forward
- If meat is irradiated with 2523.0 Gy of x-rays, most of the bacteria are killed and the shelf life of the meat is greatly increased. Assuming steak with a mass of 0.340 kg has the same specific heat as water, what temperature increase is caused by a 2523.00-Gy absorbed dose? The specific heat capacity of water is 4186 J/(kg·K). ________ °C.

- Using the systematics of exponential processes, the time scale for getting out of a pandemic at its peak through exponential decay of the infection rate or the death rate is estimated from: If the delta variant death rate per day (Po) peaked at 2000 in late September and declined at the national rate of − 1% per day, what is t, the time in days to defeat the virus (i.e. time until the last person dies)? answer choices: 350 525 450 760arrow_forwardA particular radioactive source produces 100 mrad of 2-MeV gamma rays per hour at a distance of 1.0 m. (a) How long could a person stand at this distance before accumulating an intolerable dose of 1 rem?
