Resource summary

Question 1

Question
Coherent scatter will only occur...
Answer
  • at high energies
  • When the photon has energy greater than the electron binding energy
  • At low photon energies
  • After a previous interaction

Question 2

Question
The probability of compton scatter occurring is...
Answer
  • Is proportional to energy
  • Is proportional to density squared
  • Is proportional to electron density
  • Is inversely proportional to energy

Question 3

Question
What happens to the positron produced after pair production?
Answer
  • It travels through matter and excites and ionises atoms
  • It is absorbed by an x-ray photon
  • It will interact with the nucleus of an atom
  • It combines with an electron- annihilation

Question 4

Question
In a low energy compton scatter interaction, where is most of the energy deposited?
Answer
  • The initial photon
  • The ejected electron

Question 5

Question
Electrons produced in all interactions...
Answer
  • Will have the same energy as the initial photon
  • Will produce a photoelectron
  • Will carry some energy from the initial photon
  • Transferred to the medium by ionisation or excitations
  • Can result in x-ray production

Question 6

Question
How much energy must a photon have to undergo photoelectric interactions?
Answer
  • 1.022meV
  • More than the binding energy of a bound electron
  • More than the binding energy of the k shell
  • 0.511meV

Question 7

Question
The probability of pair production is...
Answer
  • Is proportional to energy squared
  • Is inversely proportional to z
  • Is proportional to energy
  • Is proportional to z

Question 8

Question
What is the Linear Attenuation Coefficient (LAC)?
Answer
  • Fraction of photons interacting per gram of material
  • Fraction of photons interacting per unit thickness of attenuator
  • Fraction of electrons interacting relative to Z of material

Question 9

Question
To undergo a pair production interaction, how much energy must the initial photon have?
Answer
  • 0.511meV
  • Enough to overcome the binding energy of the electron
  • 1.022meV
  • 1.022kV

Question 10

Question
What is produced in the photoelectric effect?
Answer
  • An electron and a positron
  • The photon is diffracted
  • Nothing
  • An electron is ejected and a new photon produced.

Question 11

Question
The probability of photoelectric absorption....
Answer
  • Is proportional to z sqaured.
  • Is proportional to z cubed.
  • Is inversely proportional to energy cubed.
  • Is proportional to energy cubed.
