Absorption and Range of Radiation in Matter

The absorption of radiation by matter involves various mechanisms such as the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, and positron annihilation. The density and atomic number of matter significantly affect radiation absorption, determining the penetration depth and energy deposition in the material. Different radiation types (α, β, γ rays) exhibit varied behaviors in matter. These characteristics have broad applications in medical imaging, radiation therapy, and materials science, such as X-rays for radiography and γ rays for cancer treatment.
