A person with lymphoma receives a dose of 45 Gy in the form of γ radiation during a course of radiotherapy. Most of this dose is absorbed in 18 g of cancerous lymphatic tissue. (a) How much energy is absorbed by the cancerous tissue? (b) If this treatment consists of five 20 minute sessions per week over the course of 5 weeks and just 1% of the γ photons in the γ ray beam are absorbed, what is the power of the γ ray beam? (c) If the γ ray beam consists of just 0.5% of the γ photons emitted by the γ source, each of which has energy of 0.03MeV, what is the activity (in Ci) of the γ ray source?

Explanation:

a)  Energy absorbed by cancerous tissue E = R x M

R is the radiation dosage

M is the mass of the lymphatic

Energy absorbed by cancerous tissue

b) If only 1% of the total energy Et is absorbed over 20min session for 5 weeks = E

And the time of the period of the course is t = 20 x 5 = 100 min

E = 0.01Et

Total energy of gamma ray beam

Et = E x 100

= 810 x 10⁻³ x 100

= 8100J

Power of gamma ray beam is P

c) The total activity

The Number of decays dN = Es Total energy emitted at sourse per seconds / energy emitted per day

The Energy source Es per seconds = 0.05Ps

P= 0,0135W

The Power emitted at source

The Energy emitted per decay = 0.03MeV

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
