A broad beam of neutrons is normally incident on a homogeneous slab 6-cm thick. The intensity of neutrons transmitted through the slab without interactions is found to be 30% of the incident intensity,
(a) What is the total interaction coefficient nt for the slab material?
(b) What is the average distance a neutron travels in this material before undergoing an interaction?
