In the figure below calculate the X-ray intensity, as
a function of the incident intensity lo, that reaches the detector for each of the
three X-ray beams. The dark-shaded area represents bone, and the light-shaded
area represents tissue. The linear attenuation coefficients at the effective X-ray
energy of 68 keV are 10 cm-¹ and 1cm-¹ for bone and tissue, respectively.
