Problem 15AIP

An x-ray tube is powered by a high-voltage supply that delivers 700 W to the tube. The tube converts 1% of this power into x rays of wavelength 0.030 nm.

a. Approximately how many x-ray photons are emitted per second?

b. If a 75 kg technician is accidentally exposed to the full power of the x-ray beam for 1.0 s, what dose equivalent in Sv does he receive? Assume that the x-ray energy is distributed over the body, and that 80% of the energy is absorbed.
