For 3 MeV photons interacting with 1 cm3 human tissue, calculate the total KERMA (in MeV/g) assuming the following: 1 photon undergoes photoelectric effect (ignore electron binding energy); 3 photons by Compton Effect (assume scattering angle is 90 degrees for all photons), and 2 photons by pair production.
