https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation_coefficient
The attenuation coefficient describes the extent to which the intensity of an energy beam is reduced as it passes through a specific material. This might be a beam of electromagnetic radiation or sound
It is used in the context of X-rays or Gamma rays, where it is represented using the symbol , and measured in cm−1.
But why? What Ive learned before is that attenuation coefficients are normally measured in dBcm-1.
So are they different? Or just the same?
