Consider radiation with wavelength ? and zero zenith angle passing through a gas with an absorpt

Name: Consider radiation with wavelength ? and zero zenith angle passing through a gas with an absorption coefficient k? of 0.01 m² kg?¹. What fraction of the beam is absorbed in passing through a layer containing 1 kg m?² of the gas? What mass of gas would the layer have to contain in order to absorb half the incident radiation?
