For X-rays with energy corresponding to the U L3-edge the mass absorption coefficient of U is μ/ρ = 46.6. Show what will be the proportion of such X-rays that are transmitted through a layer of uranium oxide UO2 with thickness t = 10 microns. [Hint: the density of UO2 is ρ = 10.97 g/cm3. If you multiple this by the wt% of U in UO2 you will get the effective density of U in UO2.]

A material has a mass attenuation coefficient of 0.35 cm²/g (for a given photon energy) and has a density of 1 g/cm³. What is the thickness of the Half-Value Layer (HVL) of this material? (Note: the Half-Value Layer is the material thickness required to reduce an incident beam intensity by a factor of two).
V Smugglers. Rumor has it that a company has been smuggling gold out of the country using sealed, cylindrical barrels with hollow walls. They pour molten gold into the hollows, and then fill the remainder of the barrel's internal volume with packing peanuts. The total mass of the gold-walled barrel was designed so that it exactly matches those used to transport a volatile chemical that cannot be exposed to air (and therefore the barrel cannot be opened and checked). The X-ray machine usually used to screen containers is suspiciously damaged and not available. esc (a) There are 20 barrels total, and they are all identical: mass m = 50.0 kg, height h = 1.2 m, and diameter D = 0.25 m. How do you determine which ones have walls filled with gold (and are essentially hollow on the interior except for packing peanuts) and those completely filled with the volatile chemical (a tightly-packed powder) where the mass is uniformly distributed? Hint: apply the concepts of moment of inertia. Is the…
