How does the thickness of the body part being radiographed relate to the attenuation of the x-rays?
Homework Answers
Ans) The thickness of the body part being radiographed relate to the attenuation of the x-rays:
- The composition, thickness and shape of a structure all interact to influence what an object looks like on a radiograph. The density of the object being imaged determines how much of the x-ray beam will be absorbed. Dense structures absorb (attenuate) more of the x-ray beam than less dense structures.

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.

Part A How long does it take the Sun to melt a block of ice at 0∘C with a flat horizontal area 1.0 m2 and thickness 2.0 cm ? Assume that the Sun's rays make an angle of 44 ∘ with the vertical and that the emissivity of ice is 0.050. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. 2.12min , or 127.7s, or 130s incorrect

A CaF, dosimeter is enclosed in equilibrium-thickness walls of A1 to measure the dose to Si under TCPE conditions in a field of 6-MeV y-rays. Neglecting x-ray attenuation, if the average dose in the CaF, is 30 Gy, what is the Si dose? Assume that the CaF, is (a) small (Burlin's d = 1) or (b) large (d = 0).
