Physics

A plane-parallel monoenergetic beam of 1O^I2 uncharged particlesper second
is incident perpendicularly on a layer of material 0.02 m thick,having a density
p = 11.3 X lo^3 kg/m3. For values of the mass attenuationcoefficient m/p =

1X lo^-3 3 X lo^-4 and 1 X lo^-4 m2/kg, calculate the number ofprimary par-
ticles transmitted in 1 minute. Compare in each case with theapproximation

in Eq. (3.5); give percentage errors.
