Solved: A patient swallows a radiopharmaceutical tagged
Chapter 29, Problem 29.1(choose chapter or problem)
A patient swallows a radiopharmaceutical tagged with phosphorus-32 (3 15 2P), a b_ emitter with a half-life of 14.3 days. The average kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is 700 keV. If the initial activity of the sample is 1.31 MBq, determine (a) the number of electrons emitted in a 10-day period, (b) the total energy deposited in the body during the 10 days, and (c) the absorbed dose if the electrons are completely absorbed in 100 g of tissue.
