← ScienceWhich outcome results when high-energy gamma radiation impacts boron-12?
A)Photo-disintegration emits nuclear particles✓
B)Pair production generates electron-positron
C)Compton scattering reduces photon energy
D)Bremsstrahlung emits continuous X-rays
💡 Explanation
Photo-disintegration results because the high-energy photon undergoes photonuclear reaction, overcoming binding energy via the giant dipole resonance mechanism, therefore nucleons are ejected, rather than electron-positron pairs from interactions with the field.
