Monoenergetic 2 MeV photons are incident on water. A piece of bone (p = 1.85 g/cc) 1.2 cm thick is in the water with its center located at 1.5 cm depth. What is the approximate primary dose to the bone center relative to water at the same 1.5 cm depth? (Ans. Dbone ≈ 0.93 Dwater)
Q6. When a slab of material is inserted between a collimated 60Co source and a detector, it is found that the fluxes of 1.17 and 1.33 MeV gamma-rays are reduced, respectively, to 62 and 65% of their values with no absorbers. Calculate the ratio of the attenuation coefficient of the material for the two energies. What would be the reduction in the fluxes if two slabs were used?
