| Summary |
|---|
The aim of the subject is to give the students a systematic explanation of the theoretical and practical aspects of radiography and the physical basis of interaction of ionizing radiation with the environment.
Students are introduced to practical radiation testing. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
Arrange knowledge of generation of the X-rays and radiation and their basic features.
Creatively combine knowledge from classical and modern physics, solid state, quantum and nuclear physics and apply it to practice.
Come to realize the physical principles of the processes taking course in matter interacting with the high-energy electromagnetic radiation and their consequences.
Acquire compendium of application possibilities in industry.
Summarize the principles of ionizing radiation protection.
Solve the simple exercises and discuss their results.
Interpret knowledge in term of solving of the practice problems. |
| Course Contents |
|---|
1. Electromagnetic radiation – nature, dual character, wave and particle behaviour.
2. Roentgen radiation – generation, characteristics, sources.
3. Gamma radiation – generation, characteristics, sources.
4. High energy photon interaction with matter – photoelectric effect, Compton effect, pair generation.
5. Roentgen and gamma radiation detection.
6. Difraction analysis methods (X-ray, neutron, electron).
