Question

Mammography is an x-ray imaging procedure for breast cancer
diagnosis and screening. Assume that 20ke V x-ray is used in
mammography. Also assume that the breast of a patient is 6 cm in
thickness (soft tissue), and the propagation speed of x-ray photons in
soft tissue is about the same as in vacuum. How long will it take for x-
ray photons to travel through the breast?
