Convert Millisievert to Banana equivalent dose
Unit definitions
Millisievert
$\frac{1}{10^{3}}$ of a sievert is a millisievert.
Banana equivalent dose
$\frac{1}{10}$ of a microsievert is a banana equivalent dose. It is an informal unit used in education to compare effective radiation doses to the radiation dose naturally present in an average-sized banana.
How to convert Millisievert to Banana equivalent dose
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = {10}^{4} \cdot \text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{mSv}}$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $50.0\ \text{mSv}$ to $\text{BED}$.
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = {10}^{4} \cdot 50.0$$
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = 500000$$
$$\therefore \ 50.0\ \text{mSv} = 500000 \ \text{BED}$$
Example 2
Convert $80.0\ \text{mSv}$ to $\text{BED}$.
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = {10}^{4} \cdot 80.0$$
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = 800000$$
$$\therefore \ 80.0\ \text{mSv} = 800000 \ \text{BED}$$
Example 3
Convert $110.0\ \text{mSv}$ to $\text{BED}$.
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = {10}^{4} \cdot 110.0$$
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = 1100000$$
$$\therefore \ 110.0\ \text{mSv} = 1100000 \ \text{BED}$$
Example 4
Convert $150.0\ \text{mSv}$ to $\text{BED}$.
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = {10}^{4} \cdot 150.0$$
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = 1500000$$
$$\therefore \ 150.0\ \text{mSv} = 1500000 \ \text{BED}$$
Example 5
Convert $175.0\ \text{mSv}$ to $\text{BED}$.
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = {10}^{4} \cdot 175.0$$
$$\text{Radiation Dose Effective}_{\text{BED}} = 1750000$$
$$\therefore \ 175.0\ \text{mSv} = 1750000 \ \text{BED}$$
