The аttenuаtiоn cоefficient (μ) fоr аluminum when using a 100 kV x-ray is 0.1925 mm^-1.   What is the half value layer for aluminum when using 100 kV x-rays?       Given:           c = 3.0 ´ 108 m/s (the speed of light)         E (in joules) = m (in kg) ´ c2         1 eV = 1.6 ´ 10-19 Joules         Planks constant (in j)      h = 6.63 ´ 10-34 J-s         Planks constant (in eV)   h = 4.14 ´ 10-15 eV-s         E = h ´ f (in Hz)         E(in keV)  = 1.24 / l (in nanometers or angstroms)         c = l (in meters) ´ f (in Hz)         Inverse square law (I = intensity, D = distance)         (I(original) / I(new)) = ((D(new))2 / (D(original))2)         A= Ao ´ e-[l ´ t]         l= decay constant, T½=half life, t=time passed         l=ln(2)/ T½         I= Io ´ e-[μ ´ d]         μ=attenuation constant, HVL= Half Value Layer         μ=ln(2)/ HVL         (1 / T½ (E) )= (1 / T½ (P) )  +  (1 / T½ (B))         1 Bq = 1 disintegration per second (dps)         1 Ci = 3.7 x 1010 Bq         1 mCi = 37 MBq         1 AMU = 1.66 ´ 10-27 kg         Mass of e- = 0.00054858 AMU         Mass of e- = 9.11 × 10-31 kg         Mass of p+ = 1.007276 AMU         Mass of p+ = 1.673× 10-27 kg         Mass of n0 = 1.008664 AMU         Mass of n0 = 1.675× 10-27 kg
