How a geiger counter and gamma radiation can be used to measure the thickness of an object?

A geiger counter can measure the intensity of gamma radiation passing through an object. By placing the geiger counter on one side of the object and a gamma radiation source on the other side, variations in intensity can be used to calculate the thickness of the object. Thicker objects will attenuate more gamma radiation, resulting in a lower intensity detected by the geiger counter.
