You are in a speedboat on a river moving in the same direction as the current. The speedometer on the boat shows that its speed

is 20 km/h. However, a person on the shore measures the boat's speed as 23 km/h. How is this possible?

From the reference point of the river, the speed of the boat is 20 km/h. From the reference point of someone standing on the shore, the speed of the boat is the speed on the speedometer plus the downstream speed of the current.

X-rays with an energy of 300 keV undergo Compton scattering from a target. If the scattered rays are detected at 30 relative to
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a) \Delta \lambda = \lambda' -\lambda_o = \frac{h}{m_e c} (1-cos \theta)

For this case we know the following values:

h = 6.63 x10^{-34} Js

m_e = 9.109 x10^{-31} kg

c = 3x10^8 m/s

\theta = 37

So then if we replace we got:

\Delta \lambda = \frac{6.63x10^{-34} Js}{9.109 x10^{-31} kg *3x10^8 m/s} (1-cos 37) = 4.885x10^{-13} m * \frac{1m}{1x10^{-15} m}= 488.54 fm

b) \lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{E_0}

With E_0 = 300 k eV= 300000 eV

And replacing we have:

\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 x10^{-9} eV m}{300000eV}=4.13 x10^{-12}m = 4.12 pm

And then the scattered wavelength is given by:

\lambda ' = \lambda_0 + \Delta \lambda = 4.13 + 0.489 pm = 4.619 pm

And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:

E' = \frac{hc}{\lambda'}= \frac{1240x10^{-9} eVm}{4.619x10^{-12} m}=268456.37 eV - 268.46 keV

c) E_f = E_0 -E' = 300 -268.456 kev = 31.544 keV

Explanation

Part a

For this case we can use the Compton shift equation given by:

\Delta \lambda = \lambda' -\lambda_0 = \frac{h}{m_e c} (1-cos \theta)

For this case we know the following values:

h = 6.63 x10^{-34} Js

m_e = 9.109 x10^{-31} kg

c = 3x10^8 m/s

\theta = 37

So then if we replace we got:

\Delta \lambda = \frac{6.63x10^{-34} Js}{9.109 x10^{-31} kg *3x10^8 m/s} (1-cos 37) = 4.885x10^{-13} m * \frac{1m}{1x10^{-15} m}= 488.54 fm

Part b

For this cas we can calculate the wavelength of the phton with this formula:

\lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{E_0}

With E_0 = 300 k eV= 300000 eV

And replacing we have:

\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 x10^{-9} eV m}{300000eV}=4.13 x10^{-12}m = 4.12 pm

And then the scattered wavelength is given by:

\lambda ' = \lambda_0 + \Delta \lambda = 4.13 + 0.489 pm = 4.619 pm

And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:

E' = \frac{hc}{\lambda'}= \frac{1240x10^{-9} eVm}{4.619x10^{-12} m}=268456.37 eV - 268.46 keV

Part c

For this case we know that all the neergy lost by the photon neds to go into the recoiling electron so then we have this:

E_f = E_0 -E' = 300 -268.456 kev = 31.544 keV

• what is the typical distance between two adjacent pins on a 14-pin dual-in-line ic package?
muminat

A 14 pin dual-in-line IC package[14 DIL] is an integrated socket which is most popular form of IC package and has a wide range of application in digital electronics.

The 14-pin DIL has two pairs per side and each pair contains seven connecting pins.

The pairs of pins are arranged linearly one after another.The typical dimensions of width is 6.5 mm and the typical dimension of length is 18 mm.

we are asked to calculate the typical distance between two adjacent pins.

The typical distance between two adjacent pins is calculated as-

                                                                 Typical\ distance =\frac{dimensional\ length}{number\ of\ pins\ in\ each\ row}

                                    =\frac{18 mm}{7}

                                    = 2.5714 mm    [ans]
