Answer:

<u>Compression - "</u>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:

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

<u>Definition with respect to longitudinal wave-</u> "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><u><em>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.</em></u></h3>

A curved line going up indicates the object is
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.
