Catching High-Energy Photons: The X Ray Detectors Physics Quiz

How do we catch the highest energy light in the universe? Instead of bouncing off mirrors, X-rays are often absorbed by atoms, knocking electrons loose to create a measurable signal. This x ray detectors physics quiz explores...

Questions: 20 | Attempts: 10 | Last updated: Feb 13, 2026

Sample Question 1
What happens to an X-ray photon during the process of photoelectric absorption?

It bounces off the atom like a ball

Its energy is completely absorbed by an inner-shell electron

It turns into a visible light photon immediately

It passes through the atom without touching anything

It splits into two smaller X-rays

Sample Question 2
High-energy X-rays are more likely to be absorbed by an atom than low-energy X-rays.

True

False

Sample Question 3
Why are materials with a high "Atomic Number" (like Lead) used in X-ray detectors and shields?

They are cheaper to buy

They have more electrons and a higher probability of absorption

They are soft and easy to shape

They glow in the dark

They reflect X-rays like a mirror
