Question asked by Filo student

The Tenth-Value-Layer of concrete is 18 cm and the Tenth-Value-Layer of lead is 1.2 mm for a certain beam. If this beam passes through 30 cm of concrete plus 5 mm of lead, what is the transmission factor? The Tenth value layer is able to attenuate 90% of the incident photon beam. After the tenth value layer, we will only have 10% of the initial transmission.
