🗑
what happens to x-ray photons that are coherently scattered   show
🗑
what energy range is most likely to yield photoelectric absorption   show
🗑
show K or L shell electrons  
🗑
show Compton scatter  
🗑
show a photoelectron  
🗑
what are the byproducts of coherent scattering?   show
🗑
what kind of interaction is most likely to occur between 200 kVp- 2 Mev   show
🗑
show Pair Production  
🗑
What kind of interactions only occur at energy levels greater than 10 MeV   show
🗑
what are the 5 types of interactions?   show
🗑

🗑
What are the other names for Coherent scattering   show
🗑
relatively simple process that results in no loss of energy as x-rays scatter   show
🗑
Coherent scattering takes place at mostly what energy level?   show
🗑
other names for compton scattering   show
🗑
show compton scattering  
🗑
show compton scatterinc

🗑
show photoelectric absorption  
🗑
show photoelectric absorption  
🗑

🗑
show Auger effect  
🗑
Auger effect is said to be a radiationless effect why?   show
🗑
# of x-rays emitted per inner-shell vacancy   show
🗑
