Question:
a. An X-ray beam, containing X-rays with a variety of frequencies and that has an intensity of 4.0 × 105 W, is incident on an aluminium plate of thickness 5.0 cm. The average linear attenuation coefficient is 250 m−1.
i. Calculate the intensity of the transmitted beam.
ii. Explain the advantages of passing the X-rays through this aluminium plate prior to their being incident on a patient.
