Which outcome results when high-energy particles impact a crystalline scintillator?

💡 Explanation

Photon emission occurs because the Scintillation mechanism involves impacted particles exciting electrons; these then relax and emit photons. Therefore light flashes are emitted, rather than marginal conductivity increase or phase change effects under normal operating conditions.
