A photon beam is reduced to 0.1 of its initial intensity by lead<br />

with a linear attenuation coefficient of 0.567/cm. What is the<br />

shielding thickness?<br />

A) 4.06 cm<br />

B) 2.30 cm<br />

C) 1.0 cm<br />

D) 0.567 cm<br />

E) 0.05 cm<br />

The correct answer is: A<br />

Use the shielding equation<br />

I = Io e^-(ux)<br />

and let Io = 1<br />

So<br />

0.1 = 1 e^-(0.567cm)(x)<br />

0.1 = e^-(0.567cm)(x)<br />

ln(0.1) = -(0.567cm)(x)<br />

4.06 cm = x
