A radiographic system is using X-ray tube operating at 80 kVp. In order to filter the low energy X-rays, an aluminum (Al) filter of 2.5 mm thickness is used. The Al filter is replaced with a copper (Cu) filter to have the same energy filtered. The mass attenuation coefficients of Al and Cu at 80 kVp are 0.02015 m²/kg and 0.07519 m²/kg, respectively. The densities of Al and Cu are 2699 kg/m³ and 8960 kg/m³ respectively. The thickness of the new Cu filter is _______ mm. (rounded off to two decimal places)
Correct : 0.15 to 0.25
