Homework #9:

The energy ranges for each of the three photon mechanisms -- photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, and pair production -- given in the lesson were approximate.   Use Table C.5 to find the true dominance range (i.e., for each mechanism, the energy range over which it is the largest component) for all five materials in the table: air, water, concrete, iron, and lead.
