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.
Gamma-rays (Y-rays) are highly energetic electromagnetic radiation that are emitted when the nuclei undergo transitions in the energy levels. The energy of the y-rays is upward of 100 keV. Due to the high energy, the rays are not appreciably absorbed by even several centimeters of materials such as concrete or wood. However, dense metals such lead, are effective Y-ray absorbers. The amount y-rays that are absorbed depends on the material and the energy of the gamma-rays, the higher the energy,...
