To solve the problem step by step, we will use the formula for the intensity of X-rays as they travel through a material. The formula is: \[ I = I_0 e^{-\mu x} \] where: - \( I \) is the intensity after traveling distance \( x \), - \( I_0 \) is the initial intensity, - \( \mu \) is the absorption coefficient, ...
