Absorption Length

Alternatively Attenuation Length is defined as the distance into a material where the x-ray beam intensity has decreased to 1 / e, or about 63% of the incident beam. The X-ray beam intensity at depth x into a material is calculated by Beer-Lambert law:

<math>\alpha\,\!</math>


I(x) = e^(-x/lambda)

ln(1/e) = ln(e ^-x/lambda)

1 = x/Lambda

1/lamda = x

1/mu = x
