mm thick. The incident beam intensity is 104 MeV/ cm s.
a) Calculate the energy fluence rate transmitted by the sheet.
b) What fraction of the transmitted energy fluence rate is due to uncollided photons?
c) What physical processes are responsible for energy transfer to the sheet?

A patient is being given a chest X-ray. The X-ray beam is turned on for 0.20 s, and its intensity is 0.370 W/m2. The area of the chest
being exposed is 0.0720 m2, and the radiation is absorbed by 3.80 kg of tissue. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of the X-ray
for this tissue is 1.1. Calculate the biologically equivalent does received by the patient.
