I am completing a radiological physics experiment about attenuation and half value thickness.
I'm struggling to understand linear attenuation coefficient and what it means when it says its and exponential relationship.
I understand that attenuation is the reduction in intensity of an x-ray beam when it passes through a material but that is as far as i can get my head around.
any insight into this would be helpful.
Thanks
