What is the half value layer for lead?

The half value layer for lead is approximately 0.5 mm for a standard diagnostic x-ray beam. This means that half of the x-ray beam intensity is absorbed by 0.5 mm thickness of lead. Lead is commonly used as a shielding material in radiology to protect against radiation exposure.

What is the difference between a homogenous and a heterogenous beam?

A homogenous beam contains photons of the same energy (monoenergetic)Because the photons all have the same energy, their interactions with materials (such as the absorber) are all the same resulting in uniform attenuation.Heterogenous beams contain photons of different energies.Because the photons have different energies, their interactions with materials (such as the absorber) are different resulting in non-uniform attenuation.

What stores items by using microscopic pits and lands in its middle layer and is read by a laser beam?

A compact disc (CD) stores data by using microscopic pits and lands in its middle layer called the polycarbonate layer. These pits and lands are read by a laser beam in order to retrieve the stored information.
