I have a problem that asks:
What is the absorbed dose rate to water if it contains 1 GBq kg-1 of 3H?
I guess what I am looking at is an infinite medium with concentration C (Bq kg-1) with ionizing energy per transition Q (J). Then the formula is D=QC
First of all, is ionizing energy per transition for H3..is that just the decay energy?
Then, would I have to take 0.018590 mev (that is what I find for H3 decay energy), convert the units of Mev into grays to come up with an answer?
Help! Terrible at math! I appreciate any help. I'm very dedicated to learning this stuff, but I kind of suck at it!
