Solution Summary

In this solution we calculate the relative intensities of a series of signals.

Solution Preview

To solve this problem we are going to use the general equation for the decay of intensity through a medium with the exponential function of the form:

I = I0*exp[-(mu)*x]
(Where I0 is your initial intensity, mu = linear attenuation coefficient, and x = thickness)

Since we don't know our initial intensity we are asked for the relative ...
