In this question http://www.madsci.org/posts/1097070196.Ph.r.html it is stated
that x-rays can theoretically travel an unlimited distance. How likely under
real world conditions is a single low powered x-ray photon (like one emitted by
a TV) likely to travel without interaction? Also, what causes the interaction to
occur?
Thanks
