The absorption and attenuation length of the electron-photon component in extensive air showers (EAS) of a given size has been determined over the size range 105 -106 particles using air shower data obtained with North Bengal University EAS array. The absorption length for proton flux in atmosphere has been calculated from theoretical model. The observed variation of the absorption length and attenuation length of EAS with shower size has been used to infer primary composition of cosmic rays in the knee region (E ~ 3 x 1015 eV) of the cosmic ray energy spectrum.
