A typical chest $X$ ray exposes a patient to an effective dose of $0.02 \mathrm{mSv}$. How many rem is this, and how many chest X rays would a patient have to receive before biological effects would be observed? (The limit from Table 11.6 is $>0.25$ Sv.)
Approximately what amount (in Sv) of short-term exposure to radiation produces noticeable effects in humans?
