klystronman said:how do i calculate the depth of water an electron takes to stop at different energies?
( for instance at 10MeV is 6cm) would it be a dirrect relationship?
Also i need to know how to calculate shielding for the xrays created. Thickness of concrete? (per MeV)
thanks
The formula for calculating the depth of water for X-rays is d = 0.1/E, where d is the depth in centimeters and E is the energy of the X-ray beam in MeV.
The formula for calculating the shielding thickness for X-rays is t = 0.01/E, where t is the thickness of the shielding material in centimeters and E is the energy of the X-ray beam in MeV.
The recommended depth of water for shielding X-rays with an energy of 10 MeV is 1 centimeter, as calculated using the formula d = 0.1/E.
No, any type of water can be used for shielding X-rays as long as it is sufficiently deep and meets the necessary purity requirements.
Yes, other factors such as the distance between the X-ray source and the shielding material, the type and thickness of the shielding material, and the direction of the X-ray beam should also be taken into account when calculating the depth of water and shielding for X-rays.
