$X$-ray beam of intensity $I_0$ passes through an absorption plate of thickness $d$. If the absorption coefficient of the material of the plate is $\mu$,the correct statement regarding the transmitted intensity $I$ of the $X$-ray is:

  • A
    $I = I_0(1 - e^{-\mu d})$
  • B
    $I = I_0e^{-\mu d}$
  • C
    $I = I_0(1 - e^{-\mu /d})$
  • D
    $I = I_0e^{-\mu /d}$
