Question

What will be the effect a lower atomic number target on the depth of the interaction volume? a. It will be deeper b. It will be prettier c. It will be shallower d. No Éffect

Answer 1

Answer:

a)It will be deeper b. It will be prettier

Explanation:

Interaction volume depends on the following parameters

1.Material parameter

2.Till angle

3.Beam energy

Interaction volume is also known as beam range and beam range given as follows

$R(\mu m)=\dfrac{0.0276AE_o^{1.67}}{Z^{0.89}\rho}$

Where Eo is energy

A is atomic weight

ρ is density

Z is atomic number

$R(\mu m)=\dfrac{0.0276AE_o^{1.67}}{Z^{0.89}\rho}$

When Z decreases then R will increases it means that interaction volume will be deeper.
