Answer:

Compression - "Compression is a process in which the actual space covered by any sort of entity is reduced and the values of the given parameters are lowered."

Explanation:

Definition with respect to Stress and strain- "The change in actual length,L to a new length,ΔL due to applied stress is called as compression".

Definition with respect to longitudinal wave- "The region of the wave where the particles present are more close to each other is called as compression".

Answer:

The answer that I found is.....

<h3>Compression. A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together. Rarefaction. A rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart.</h3>

Vesna [10]

Explanation:

Both graphs show plotted points forming a curved line. Curved lines have changing slope; they may start with a very small slope and begin curving sharply (either upwards or downwards) towards a large slope. In either case, the curved line of changing slope is a sign of accelerated motion (i.e., changing velocity).

A photon of wavelength 2.78 pm scatters at an angle of 147° from an initially stationary, unbound electron. What is the de Brogl

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

2.07 pm

Explanation:

The problem given here is the very well known Compton effect which is expressed as

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

here, $\lambda$ is the initial photon wavelength, $\lambda^{'}$ is the scattered photon wavelength, h is he Planck's constant, $m_e$ is the free electron mass, c is the velocity of light, $\theta$ is the angle of scattering.

Given that, the scattering angle is, $\theta=147^{\circ}$

Putting the respective values, we get

$\lambda^{'}-\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 3\times 10^{8} } (1-cos147^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42\times 10^{-12} (1-cos147^\circ ) m.\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42(1-cos147^\circ ) p.m.\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=4.45 p.m.$

Here, the photon's incident wavelength is $\lamda=2.78pm$

Therefore,

$\lambda^{'}=2.78+4.45=7.23 pm$

From the conservation of momentum,

$\vec{P_\lambda}=\vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}}+\vec{P_e}$

where, $\vec{P_\lambda}$ is the initial photon momentum, $\vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}}$ is the final photon momentum and $\vec{P_e}$ is the scattered electron momentum.

Expanding the vector sum, we get

$P^2_{e}=P^2_{\lambda}+P^2_{\lambda^{'}}-2P_\lambda P_{\lambda^{'}}cos\theta$

Now expressing the momentum in terms of De-Broglie wavelength

$P=h/\lambda,$

and putting it in the above equation we get,

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{\lambda \lambda^{'}}{\sqrt{\lambda^{2}+\lambda^{2}_{'}-2\lambda \lambda^{'} cos\theta}}$

Therefore,

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{2.78\times 7.23}{\sqrt{2.78^{2}+7.23^{2}-2\times 2.78\times 7.23\times cos147^\circ }} pm\\\lambda_{e}=\frac{20.0994}{9.68} = 2.07 pm$

This is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron after scattering.
