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

Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The leverage or mechanical advantage of pulleys is less obvious, but you can "gang" multiple pulleys together into two sets (blocks) and run the ropes back and forth between the two sets to increase the number of lengths of rope running between them. One end of the rope is connected (fixed) to one of the blocks, and you get to pull on the other end after it is passed back and forth between the blocks of pulleys. This is sometimes called a block and tackle arrangement. With a hook on each side of the block set, you can move a heavy load much like levers do, by multiplying the force. You have to pull more rope just like you have to move a lever more on one side of the fulcrum as compared to the other. When you get all the rope pulled out that you can, you can not move the load anymore because you have become "two-blocked" which means the two blocks are together. Credits to: Moin Khan

Explain the importance of measurement<br>Physics.<br><br>​
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Measurements are an important part of comparing things, as they provide the basis on comparing objects to other objects. Measurements allow us to recognize three hours and see how it's shorter than five hours, without having to observe the hours passing by themselves.

Potential difference of a battery is 2.2 V when it is connected
Alchen [17]

Answer:

1.1ohms

Explanation:

According to ohms law E = IR

If potential difference of a battery is 2.2 V when it is connected across a resistance of 5 ohm and if suddenly the voltage Falls to 1.8V then the current in the 5ohms resistor I = V/R = 1.8/5

I = 0.36A (This will be the load current).

Before we can calculate the value of the internal resistance, we need to know the voltage drop across the internal resistance.

Voltage drop = 2.2V - 1.8V = 0.4V

Then we calculate the internal resistance using ohms law.

According to the law, V = Ir

V= voltage drop

I is the load current

r = internal resistance

0.4 = 0.36r

r = 0.4/0.36

r = 1.1 ohms
