根据朗伯定律,单色光照射均匀介质时,介质对光强的衰减程度与介质厚度成正比,就像穿过越来越厚的雾气,能见度逐渐降低: dIt/It=﹣μdt
其中,μ是衰减系数,表示该物质对入射X射线的线衰减系数。物理上,它代表单位长度物质引起的相对衰减量。积分后得到这个优雅的指数衰减公式:It=I0e−μt
这里t是介质厚度,It/I0称为穿透系数,It为透射强度,I0为入射强度。 这个公式告诉我们,X射线强度随着穿透深度的增加而指数衰减。---**Textual Information:**

**Chart/Diagram Description:**
* **Type:** Schematic diagram illustrating the attenuation of radiation passing through a material.
* **Main Elements:**
* A rectangular block representing a material is shown in light green with wavy sides.
* Red arrows point downwards, entering the top surface and exiting the bottom surface, representing the direction of radiation.
* The initial intensity of the incoming radiation is labeled as $I_0$ near the top surface, above the incoming arrows.
* The intensity of the outgoing radiation after passing through the material is labeled as $I$ near the bottom surface, below the outgoing arrows.
* The total thickness of the material block is labeled as $t$ on the right side, indicated by a vertical double-headed arrow connecting the top and bottom surfaces.
* A small, dark green rectangular region is shown inside the material block.
* The thickness of this small region is labeled as $dt$ on the left side, indicated by a vertical double-headed arrow connecting the top and bottom of the small region.
* Horizontal lines mark the top and bottom surfaces of the material and the top and bottom boundaries of the differential thickness layer $dt$.
