Approximate a molybdenum spectrum as bichromatic, with 80% of photons emitted at 18 keV and 20% of photons emitted at 20 keV. How would the spectrum look like if I filtered it with a 5 cm thick slab of Perspex, calculate the new relative weights µPerspex,18keV = 0.84 cm-1 , µPerspex,20keV = 0.67 cm
