To solve the problem of finding the coefficient of absorption of aluminum for X-rays with a wavelength of 0.5 Å passing through a 7 mm thick aluminum sheet, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Wavelength of X-ray (λ) = 0.5 Å = \(0.5 \times 10^{-10}\) m - Thickness of aluminum sheet (x) = 7 mm = \(7 \times 10^{-3}\) m - Initial intensity (I₀) and final intensity (I) after passing through the aluminum sheet: I = \(\frac{I₀}{4}\) ### Step 2: Write the formula for the coefficient of absorption (μ) ...
