Question: 1 0 . A flat polystyrene - air ion chamber with 1 - mm plate separation is positioned with the inner surface of its front

10. A flat polystyrene-air ion chamber with 1-mm plate separation is positioned with the inner surface of its front wall at a depth of 2.0 g/cm^2 in a polystyrene phantom. A beam of 15-MeV electrons incident on the phantom makes a charge reading of 6.4210 C, where p =765 torr, T =25.2C, and the ion collection efficiency is 0.973.
(a) What is the absorbed dose in the cavity air, known to have a mass of 4.3110^4 g?(5 pts)
(b) What is the absorbed dose in the polystyrene at 2-g/cm^2 depth? (5 pts)
