Which of the following effects transfers all the energy of the gamma ray to an electron in the inner orbit of the atom of the absorber?
A. Photoelectric effect B. Compton effect C. Pair production D. Collision effect
Explanation: Upon interaction with matter, gamma rays lose energy in three modes. Photoelectric effect transfers all the energy of the gamma ray to an electron in the inner orbit of the atom of the absorber.
