You are seated at a table with two different ionizing radiation sources placed across the table from you. For simplicity, assume both sources emit the same type of gamma radiation. However, Source B emits 10 times the amount of radiation per second as Source A.

Now, identical plates of Lead (Pb) 2.0 centimeters thick are placed between you and each of the sources. Assume Lead (Pb) has a total absorption coefficient for gamma rays of 0.8c * m⁻1

Which of the following statements is correct (choose only one).
o Ten times as many gamma rays are blocked from Source B as for Source A
o Equal fraction (percentage) of gamma rays are blocked from Source B as for Source A
o O One hundredth ( 0.01* ) as many gamma rays are blocked from Source B as for Source A
o One tenth (0.1*) as many gamma rays are blocked from Source B as for Source A
o A hundred times as many gamma rays are blocked from Source B as for Source A
o Equal number of gamma rays are blocked from Source B as for Source A
