Question
Find the dose of $\gamma$ rays that must be absorbed by a block of ice at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to convert it to water at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Give the dosage in rad.
Step 1
This can be represented by the formula: \[E = mL\] where \(E\) is the heat energy, \(m\) is the mass, and \(L\) is the latent heat of fusion. Show more…

What dose in gray of gamma radiation must be absorbed by a block of ice at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to transform the entire block to liquid water at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
Multiple-Concept Example 1 discusses some of the physics principles that are used to solve this problem. What absorbed dose (in rads) of $\gamma$ rays is required to change a block of ice at $0.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ into steam at $100.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
