When `X`-rays if wavelength `0.5Å` pass through `10 mm` thick `Al` sheet than their intensity is reduced to one sixth . Find the absorption coefficient for Aluminium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`mu = (2.303)/(x) , "log"((I_(0))/(I)) = (2.303)/(10)"log"_(10)6 = (2.303 xx 0.7781)/(10) = 0.1752//mm`
