What coefficient is an important quantity in radiotherapy because it helps predict biologic effects of radiation?

The photoelectric effect can only take place with electrons in the K and L shells.

A narrow beam of 5000 monoenergetic photons is reduced to 1000 photons by a copper absorber 2 cm thick. What is the linear attenuation coefficient of the copper absorber for these photons?

Three HVLs would reduce the intensity of the beam to _____ of its original value.

No one kind of beam is ideal for radiation therapy.

If we consider a photon beam traversing through a material, the fraction of photon energy transferred into KE of charged particles per unit thickness of absorber is given by:
