far away

The article mentions about X-ray energies near the K-edge, and how photons with enough energy can knock an electron out of the K shell. It does not mention what happens for energies much higher. Without knowing more, one might assume that higher energies would be even better, though we already know that light elements don't have much effect on, for example, 20keV X-rays. It might be nice to say what happens to heavier elements at energies way past the K-edge. Gah4 (talk) 22:12, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
