Beta rays incident on a specific material of mass thickness attenuation factor t = 0.33 g/cm2, and a mass thickness T = 0.18 g/cm2 . The percentage of radiation passes through the material (i.e., I(T)/I0 % ) is (two significant figures). Use equation 1 in the manual.
Beta rays incident on a specific material of mass thickness attenuation factor t = 0.25 g/cm2, and a mass thickness T = 0.13 g/cm2 . The percentage of radiation passes through the material (i.e., I(T)/I0 % ) is (two significant figures). Use equation 1 in the manual. I got 97% apparently thats wrong.

The X-ray experiment in the 1st year laboratory involves a high voltage (up to 28 kV) source of electrons which hit a target made of copper. This causes the electrons to decelerate, which results in the emission of "Bremstrahlung" X-rays, as well as characteristic peaks. The maximum X-ray energy is 28 keV. The door of the X-ray set is made of leaded glass. This attenuates the X-rays, according to the following equation: lo exp (-ut) Here l is the transmitted...
An apparatus has been created to measure the diffusion coefficient of carbon through iron. It is composed of a chamber filled with a carbon rich gas. A 0.5 m long iron pipe passes through the chamber. A gas with very little carbon flows through the pipe and a detector on the exit of the pipe counts the total amount of carbon atoms flowing out of the pipe with time, giving J = 0.032 mol/day. The outer and inner diameter of...
