Best Answer

The half value layer of a homogenous beam is the thickness of the absorber that reduces the intensity of the beam to half the initial (starting) intensity.

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.
