Answer:

4.63 p.m.

Explanation:

The problem given here can be solved by the 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=157^{\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-cos157^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42\times 10^{-12} (1-cos157^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42(1-cos157^\circ ) p.m.

Therfore,

\lambda^{'}-\lambda=4.64 p.m.

Here, the photon's incident wavelength is \lamda=7.33pm

So,

\lambda^{'}=7.33+4.64=11.97 p.m

From the conservation of momentum,

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

here, \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}}

Therfore,

\lambda_{e}=\frac{7.33\times 11.97}{\sqrt{7.33^{2}+11.97^{2}-2\times 7.33\times 11.97\times cos157^\circ }} p.m.\\\lambda_{e}=\frac{87.7401}{18.935} = 4.63 p.m.

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

A frictionless cart of mass M is attached to a spring with spring constant k. When the cart is displaced 6 cm from its rest posi
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Explanation:

Solution:

As we know that:

F = Kx

Here,

K = Spring constant

x = displacement.

First, they are displacing it with 6 cm from its rest position for which Time period of the oscillation is T = 2 seconds.

But next, they want to know the effect on the time period of the oscillation if the displacement x is doubled from 6cm to 12 cm.

First of all, let us see the equation of the time period of the oscillation.

We need to check, if time period does depend on the displacement or not.

As we know,

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Since, K is the constant for a particular spring, we need to change the mass of the cart to change the time period.

Hence the Time period will remain same.
