Answer:
400 milli-rems
Solution:
As per the question;
Maximum energy of particle, [tex]E_{m} = 0.0186\ MeV[/tex]
Weight, w = 1 kg
Energy absorbed, E = [tex]4\times 10^{- 3}\ J[/tex]
Now,
Equivalent dose is given by:
[tex]D_{eq} = \frac{E}{w} =\frac{4\times 10^{- 3}}{1} = 4\times 10^{- 3}\ J/kg[/tex]
1 Gy = 1 J/kg
Also,
1 Gy = [tex]1\times 10^{5}\ milli-rems[/tex]
Therefore,
Dose equivalent in milli-rems is given by:
[tex]D_{eq} = 4\times 10^{- 3}\times 1\times 10^{5} = 400\ milli-rems[/tex]
