What is Gamma Ray Absorption Experiment about?

This document provides instructions for an experiment to measure the absorption of gamma rays passing through various materials. Gamma rays are emitted from radioactive sources of Cesium-137 and Cobalt-60. Students will measure the gamma ray counts detected over time with no absorber and with increasing thicknesses of lead, copper, and aluminum plates placed between the source and detector. Analysis will involve calculating average counts, subtracting background radiation, and graphing the natural logarithm
