Answer:
a) 4.04*10^-12m
b) 0.0209nm
c) 0.253MeV
Explanation:
The formula for Compton's scattering is given by:
where h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the electron and c is the speed of light.
a) by replacing in the formula you obtain the Compton shift:
b) The change in photon energy is given by:
c) The electron Compton wavelength is 2.43 × 10-12 m. Hence you can use the Broglie's relation to compute the momentum of the electron and then the kinetic energy.
Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment.
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The answer is 0.025J.
W=1/2*k*x^2
W=1/2*20*0.050^2
W=0.025J
