33. Increasing share of total energy is taken up recoil electron

39. This has several important implications in designing radiation protection. The maximum energy of photons with 90° scatter is 0.511 MeV while that for 180° scatter ( i.e.. Back scatter) is 0.255 MeV . The energy of the photons scattered at angles <90 ° will be more than .511 MeV and will gradually approach the incident photon energy Energy of the scattered radiation is independent of the incident beam energy

55. Applications This leads to dosimetric inaccuracies when using air containing ion chambers. Polarization in heavier atomic weight elements. This leads to a “smudging” of the Bragg's peak which is not seen in electrons. The low mass of the electron leads to greater scattering. This is of practical importance as radioactive isotopes which are produce high energy beta radiation are better stored in low atomic number materials e.g. plastics as they will lead to lesser bremsstrahlung radiation. Also higher atomic number elements are better for x ray production. The amount of radiative loss is proportional to the square of the atomic number of the material This leads to the phenomenon of greater ionization in soft tissues relative to bones. Ionization and excitation are more for low atomic materials
