The mass attenuation coefficient of copper is 0.0589 cm2/g for 1.0-MeV photons. The intensity of 1.0MeV X-ray photons in a narrow beam is reduced to what fraction by a slab of copper 1 cm thick? The density of copper is 8.9 g/cm3.
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
