Explanation:

Question 1 (Factors for Beam Quantity)

Beam quantity (x - ray photons) factors: mAs (affects number of electrons, hence photons), kVp (higher kVp increases photon production), distance (inverse square law), filtration (affects photon number by absorption of low - energy photons).

Beam quality (photon energy) factors: kVp (determines maximum photon energy, affects average energy) and filtration (removes low - energy photons, hardening the beam, increasing quality).

Answer:

1. mAs
2. kVp
3. Distance
4. Filtration
