Scattering and Absorption Absorption - All energy of incident
photon is absorbed by a material, the photon is destroyed
Scattering - Photon path is altered by a “scattering event”, loss of energy can occur (inelastic scattering) or not (elastic scattering)
Transmission - No interaction

White radiation, Bremsstrahlung
X-Ray
Coulombic interaction
-Inelastic interaction with nuclei-Loss of kinetic energy-Xray (E) = lost kinetic E
-High kinetic energy-Forward radiation
-Emission Z2
(Atomic number)# of protons
