Given information
We have found total energy absorbed in part (a) of this question and energy of 1 proton is given and we have to find number of protons
Energy of 1 proton
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Energy of 1 photon
Where,
Total energy absorbed by tumor
No. of photons be
We have to calculate no. of photons absorbed, we are given energy of one photon and we have found the total energy of photon absorbed
therefore,
no. of photons x energy of one proton will be equal to total energy absorbed by tumor
