One half the rays from 99mTcare absorbed by a 0.170-mm-thicklead shielding. Half of the y rays that pass through the first layer of lead are absorbed in a second layer of equal thickness. What thickness of lead will absorb all but one in 1000 of these rays?
One half the rays from 99mTc are absorbed by a 0.170mmthick lead shielding. Half of the rays that pass through the first layer of lead are absorbed in a second layer of equal thickness. What thickness of lead will absorb all but one in 1000 of these rays?
Suppose the range for 5.0 MeVa ray is known to be 2.0 mm in a certain material. Does this mean that every 5.0 MeVa a ray that strikes this material travels 2.0 mm, or does the range have an average value with some statistical fluctuations in the distances traveled? Explain.

Which methods of radiation protection were used in the device shown in the first photo in Figure 32.35? Which were used in the situation shown in the second photo? (a) (b) Figure 32.35 (a) This xray fluorescence machine is one of the thousands used in shoe stores to produce images offset as a check on the fit of shoes. They are unshielded and remain on as long as the test are in them, producing doses much greater titan medical images. Children were fascinated with them. These machines were used in shoe stores until laws preventing such unwarranted radiation exposure were enacted in the 1950s (credit: Andrew Kuchling ) (b) New that we know the effects of exposure to radioactive material, eatery is a priority.

8. An x-ray beam is composed of equal intensities of 30 pm x-rays and 50 pm x- rays. The xray beam is now directed upon a material whose linear absorption coefficient for 30 pm xrays and 50-pm x-rays are 0.30 mm-1 and 0.72 mm-1 respectively. How thick is thematerial if the exiting x-ray beam is composed of twice as many 30 pm x-rays as 50-pm xrays?
