SUMMARY
The formula for calculating MAC (Mass Absorption Coefficient) is confirmed as MAC = LAC (Linear Absorption Coefficient) divided by density. This relationship holds true when MAC is expressed in cm²/gram, LAC in cm⁻¹, and density in grams/cm³. The discussion clarifies the units involved, ensuring accurate application of the formula in relevant calculations.
