For intermediate energy of radiations, the dormant process is:
Correct answer: A. Compton Effect
- A. Compton Effect
- B. Photoelectric Effect
- C. Nuclear Effect
- D. Pair Production
Explanation
Explanation:For intermediate energy of radiations, the dormant process is Compton effect. This option is not correct. At low energies, the dominant process is photoelectric effect. This option is also not correct. This is a process in which high-energy radiation interacts with the nucleus of an atom, resulting in the emission of nuclear particles such as alpha, beta, or gamma rays.This option is also incorrect. At high energies, the dominant process is pair production.

About Photons and the Particle Model of Light
The particle model treats light as photons with energy E equals hf and momentum related to wavelength. Questions involve the photoelectric effect, work function, threshold frequency, stopping potential and photon energy, while distinguishing particle behaviour from the wave description of interference and diffraction.
