Question
Scenario 3: X ray imaging department
•
•
• All diagnostic examinations involving medical exposures are performed with the radiation dose to the patient being as low as reasonably practicable to achieve the required quality of image.
• All operating personnel must withdraw from the treatment area when the X-ray tube is in operation.
• Personal dosimeters (film badge) should be worn on the front of the body, in the area of the main torso, anywhere from waist to neck. Individuals who wear lead garments should position the whole body dosimeter at collar level, outside of any lead protection.
• When not wearing the dosimeter, it should be stored in an area away from any radiation sources.
• Do not lend your dosimeter to another person, and do not wear another person’s dosimeter.
• Personal dosimeters must be submitted for analysis every 3 months.
• If your dosimeter is damaged or lost, promptly contact the badge coordinator or the Radiation Safety Office.
• Personnel must inform the Radiation Safety Office if they become pregnant or are intending to become pregnant.

- 1. • Response of the eye. The human eye is most sensitive to BIO green light of wavelength 505 nm. Experiments have found that when people are kept in a dark room until their eyes adapt to the darkness, a single photon of green light will trigger receptor cells in the rods of the retina. (a) What is the fre- quency of this photon? (b) How much energy (in joules and eV) does it deliver to the receptor cells? (c) To appreciate what a small amount of energy this is, calculate how fast a typical bacterium of mass 9.5 x 10-12 g would move if it had that much energy.arrow_forwardPhoton Energies and the Electromagnetic Spectrum• Explain the relationship between the energy of a photon in joules or electron volts and its wavelength or frequency.• Calculate the number of photons per second emitted by a monochromatic source of specific wavelength and power.arrow_forwardPlease help me with the following question, explain and make sure the asnwer make sense and its correct 100% thanks!!arrow_forward
- 52. • Structure of a virus. To investigate the structure of BIO extremely small objects, such as viruses, the wavelength of the probing wave should be about one-tenth the size of the object for sharp images. But as the wavelength gets shorter, the energy of a photon of light gets greater and could damage or destroy the object being studied. One alternative is to use elec- tron matter waves instead of light. Viruses vary considerably in size, but 50 nm is not unusual. Suppose you want to study such a virus, using a wave of wavelength 5.00 nm. (a) If you use light of this wavelength, what would be the energy (in eV) of a single photon? (b) If you use an electron of this wavelength, what would be its kinetic energy (in eV)? Is it now clear why matter waves (such as in the electron microscope) are often preferable to electromagnetic waves for studying microscopic objects?arrow_forwardQuantum efficiency of a photodiode is 60 percent at a wavelength of 1.6 µm. • Find its responsivity at this wavelength. • What is the maximum possible size of the bandgap for this material?arrow_forwardJ03_2arrow_forward
