The following quantities appear in the problem:
Zeit \(t\) / Masse \(m\) / Energie \(E\) / Aktivität \(A\) / Äquivalentdosis \(H\) / Radius \(r\) / Oberfläche \(S\) / Zerfallskonstante \(\lambda\) / Energiedosis \(D\) /
The following formulas must be used to solve the exercise:
\(D = \dfrac{E}{m} \quad \) \(S = 4 \pi r^2 \quad \) \(A_t = A_0 \cdot \text{e}^{-\lambda t} \quad \) \(H = qD \quad \)

Exercise:
What wholbody dose is received by a mO laboratory worker exposed to a AO Ci.eBq isotopeCo source asing the person's body has a cross-sectional area SpO and is normally about rO from the source for tO per day? isotopeCo emits upgamma rays of energy EaO and EbO in quick succession. Approximately netO of the upgamma rays eract in the body and deposit all their energy. The rest passes through.
Solution:
