A parallel beam of 1-MeV photons is normally incident on a 1.2-cm aluminum slab (ρ = 2.70 g cm^–3 ) at a rate of 10³ s^–1 . The mass attenuation and mass energy- absorption coefficients are, respectively, 0.0620 cm² g^–1 and 0.0270 cm² g^–1.
1. What fraction of the photons is transmitted without interacting?
2. What fraction of the incident photon energy is transmitted by the slab?
3. How much energy is absorbed per second by the slab?
4. What fraction of the transmitted energy is carried by the uncollided photons?
5. If the mass energy-transfer coefficient is 0.0271 cm² g^–1, what fraction of the initial kinetic energy transferred to the electrons in the slab is emitted as bremsstrahlung?

Consider two photons, one with energy 1 = 2 MeV traveling to the right, and the other with energy 2 = 3 MeV moving to the left. The two photons collide head-on and produce a positron-electron pair. In this problem you will calculate the velocities of the two particles after the collision. Use the Doppler Shift equation to find the velocity of a frame of reference S' such that the two photons have the same energy. Which direct is S
