(e) 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 method of cancer treatment known as gamma knife radio- therapy uses multiple beams of gamma rays to attack a tumor while leaving nearby tissue relatively unaffected. The source of gamma rays is radioactive cobalt, which reliably produces photons with E the 1.17 MeV.
