3 Questions
What are the two possible outcomes for a photon after interacting with an atom?
Photon disappears completely or is scattered
When a photon is scattered, what are the two possible outcomes?
Resulting photon has the same energy or has lower energy
What happens to the excess energy if the resulting scattered photon has a lower energy than the incident photon?
The energy excess is transferred to a light charged particle
Test your knowledge of photon interactions with atoms in this quiz. Explore the two possible outcomes after an interaction and learn about the fate of photons when they are absorbed or scattered by charged particles.
