X rays of wavelength 0.0169 nm are directed in the positive direction of an x axis onto a target containing loosely bound electr

ons. For Compton scattering from one of those electrons, at an angle of 132°, what are (a) the Compton shift, (b) the corresponding change in photon energy, (c) the kinetic energy of the recoiling electron, and (d) the angle between the positive direction of the x axis and the electron's direction of motion? The electron Compton wavelength is 2.43 × 10-12 m.

Answer:

a) 4.04*10^-12m

b) 0.0209nm

c) 0.253MeV

Explanation:

The formula for Compton's scattering is given by:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_f-\lambda_i=\frac{h}{m_oc}(1-cos\theta)

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:

\Delta \lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(3*10^8m/s)}(1-cos132\°)=4.04*10^{-12}m

b) The change in photon energy is given by:

\Delta E=E_f-E_i=h\frac{c}{\lambda_f}-h\frac{c}{\lambda_i}=hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_f}-\frac{1}{\lambda_i})\\\\\lambda_f=4.04*10^{-12}m +\lambda_i=4.04*10^{-12}m+(0.0169*10^{-9}m)=2.09*10^{-11}m=0.0209nm

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.

P=\frac{h}{\lambda_e}=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{2.43*10^{-12}m}=2.72*10^{-22}kgm\\

E_e=\frac{p^2}{2m_e}=\frac{(2.72*10^{-22}kgm)^2}{2(9.1*10^{-31}kg)}=4.06*10^{-14}J\\\\1J=6.242*10^{18}eV\\\\E_e=4.06*10^{-14}(6.242*10^{18}eV)=0.253MeV

A very small object with mass 8.30×10-9 kg and positive charge 6.90×10-9 C is projected directly toward a very large insulating
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

41.4496148484\ m/s

Explanation:

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

\sigma = Surface charge density = 5.9\times 10^{-8}\ C/m^2

\Delta x = 0.57-0.26

q = Charge = 6.9\times 10^{-9}\ C

m = Mass of object = 8.3\times 10^{-9}\ kg

Electric field due to a sheet is given by

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{5.9\times 10^{-8}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=3333.33\ V/m

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

Voltage is given by

V=E\Delta x

Kinetic energy is given by

K=qV

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qE\Delta x\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qE\Delta x}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.9\times 10^{-9}\times 3333.33\times (0.57-0.26)}{8.3\times 10^{-9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=41.4496148484\ m/s

The initial speed of the object is 41.4496148484\ m/s

"The International Space Station (ISS) orbits at a distance of 350 km above the surface of the Earth. (a) Determine the gravitat
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) 7699.990192m/s.

(c)5484.3301s = 1.5234 hours.(extremely fast).

Explanation:

(a) Strength of gravitational field 'g' by definition is

g = \frac{M_{(earth)} }{r^2} G , here G is Gravitational Constant, and r is distance from center of earth, all the values will remain same except r which will be radius of earth + altitude at which ISS is in orbit.

r = 6721,000 meters, putting this value in above equation gives g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) We have to essentially calculate centripetal acceleration that equals new 'g'.

a_{centripetal}=\frac{V^2}{r} =g here g is known, r is known and v is unknown.

plugging in r and g in above and solving for unknown gives V = 7699.990192m/s.

(c)  S = vT,  here T is time period or time required to complete one full revolution.

S =  earth's circumfrence , V is calculated in (B) T is unknown.

solving for unknown gives T = 5484.3301s = 1.5234hours.
