Which of the following statements is true about the interact
Which of the following statements is true about the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter? Photoelectric absorption involves the interaction of a photon with the nucleus of an atom. Rayleigh scattering involves an inelastic collision of a photon with an outer-shell electron with negligible binding energy, after which that electron is ejected from the atom. The main phenomena associated with X-ray imaging are Rayleigh scattering at low photon energies and pair production at high photon energies. The main phenomena associated with X-ray imaging are photoelectric absorption at low photon energies and Compton scattering at high photon energies. None of these statements are true.
Solution
a. False. Photon interacts with electron shell, not the nucleus
b. False. Rayeligh scattering involves elastic Collision
c. False.
d. True.
