A 0.15kg tumor is treated with α
α particles. There are 2×10
12
2×1012 particles reaching the tumor every second, each having energy 3×10
−15
3×10−15J. What is the absorbed dose given to the tumor
m=0.15 kgn=2×1012 particlesE=3×10−15 Jm=0.15 \; kg \\ n=2 \times 10^{12} \; particles \\ E = 3 \times 10^{-15} \;Jm=0.15kgn=2×1012particlesE=3×10−15J
The absorbed dose =nEm= \frac{nE}{m}=mnE
=2×1012×3×10−150.15=40×10−3=0.04 J/kg⋅s= \frac{2 \times 10^{12} \times 3 \times 10^{-15}}{0.15} \\ = 40 \times 10^{-3} \\ = 0.04 \;J/kg \cdot s=0.152×1012×3×10−15=40×10−3=0.04J/kg⋅s
