Question \#2(4 marks): For 20 keV x-rays, the LACs for different tissues are given in the table below (units in \(\mathrm{cm}^{-1}\)). For each, find the thickness of that substance that would result in only \(10\%\) of the initial x-ray beam passing through the tissue. Additionally, rank each material as they would appear on an x-ray from darkest to brightest.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline Material & 20 keV & 50 keV & 100 keV \\
\hline Air & 0.001 & 0.0003 & 0.0002\\
\hline Bone & 5.407 & 0.573 & 0.251\\
\hline Fat & 0.517 & 0.193 & 0.154\\
\hline Muscle & 0.872 & 0.24 & 0.180\\
