Question:

A beam of gamma rays has a cross-sectional area of 2.0 cm2 and carries 7.0 × 108 photons through the cross section each second. Each photon has an energy of 1.25 MeV. The beam passes through a 0.75 cm thickness of flesh (ρ = 0.95 g/cm3) and loses 5.0 percent of its intensity in the process. What is the average dose (in Gy and in rd) applied to the flesh each second?
