show A slightly different direction.  
🗑
show energy  
🗑
show ionization.  
🗑
Most coherent scattered x-rays are scattered in what direction?   show
🗑
show Diagnostic radiology

show The compton effect or compton scattering.  
🗑
show ionization  
🗑
(Compton Effect) The ejected electron is called?   show
🗑
show different; less  
🗑
show True  
🗑
show Its binding energy plus the kinetic energy with which it leaves the atom.

🗑
During a Compton interaction, most of the energy is divided between?   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show none  
🗑
show The compton electron  
🗑
(Compton Effect) Even at 180 degrees of deflection, the scattered x-ray retains at least approximately how much of it's original energy?   show
🗑

Compton scattering reduces?   show
🗑
Compton scattering in tissue can occur with all x-rays and therefore is of considerable importance in?   show
🗑
show No useful information  
🗑
show True  
🗑
(Photoelectric Effect) The electon removed from the atom is called?   show
🗑
show The x-ray is totally absorbed.  
🗑

🗑
True or False: The probability of the photoelectric effect is inversely proportional to the third power of the x-ray energy.   show
🗑

🗑
If an incident x-ray has sufficient energy, it may escape interaction with electrons and come close enough to the nucleus of the atom to be influenced by the?   show
🗑
The interaction between the x-ray and the nuclear field causes the x-ray to???? and in it's place, ???? electrons appear, one ??? charged (positron) and one ????? charged. This is called   show
🗑
Pair production occurs with x-rays that have energies greater than?   show
