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.

Solve this system of equations without graphing and show your reasoning <br><br> 5x+y=7<br> 20x+2=y
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

5x + y = 7

20x - y = -2

    25x = 5

        x = (1/5)

5(1/5) + y = 7

1 + y = 7 .

y = 6

Una flecha tiene una rapidez de lanzamiento inicial de 18 m/s. Si debe dar en un blanco a 31 m de distancia, que está a la misma
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

34.8 and 55.2º

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, as we are told that the range of the arrow must be equal to its range and = 31 m let's use the equation

         

The scope equation is

         R = v₀² sin 2θ /g

         sin 2 θ = R g / v₀²

         sin 2 θ = 31 9.8 / 18²

         2 θ = sin⁻¹ 0.93765

          θ = 34.8º

At the launch of projectiles we have two complementary angles with the same range in this case 34.8 and (90-34.8) = 55.2º
