Paragraph for Question no. 36 and 37
When a beam of X-rays passes through a material, some of the photons may ineract with the
atoms of the material, causing the photons to be removed from the beam. The primary interaction
processes responsible for the reduction of the intensity of any photon beam are the photoelectric
effect, Compton scattering, and pair production.
The intensity I of a monochromatic X-ray beam after it has penetrated a distance x in a target
material is given by I = I0e–µx
where I0 is the intensity of the incident beam and µ is the absorption coefficient of the material.
The quantity µ depends on both the target atoms and the energy of the X-ray photons.
Suppose for a given target material, that µ is measured as a function of the incident X-ray energy.
As this energy increases, the absorption coefficient decreases because the higher-energy photons
are less likely to produce photoelectrons or undergo Compton scattering. The decrease continue
until the X-ray energy just equals the binding energy of one of the core electrons. At this point,
more electrons suddenly become available for photoelectric emission, causing a marked decrease
in the transmitted X-ray intensity, or equivalently, a sudden increase in the value of the absorption
coefficient. This sharp increase in µ happens at the binding energies of each of the core electrons,
resulting in the absorption edges shown in figure (a). Measurement of the energies of the K, L,
..... absorption edges thus serves to determine the binding energies of the corresponding core
electrons. Take : hc = 12.4 keV· Å
