What are the five interactions with matter that can occur? Also out of the five only 3 are applied to radiography can you name them?

Answer:
1) Classical
2) Compton
3) Photoelectric
4) Pair Production
5) Photodisentegration

Numbers 1-3 are the only ones that are useable in radiography. The energy required for 4 and 5 is much to great to be used.
