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.
