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

Describe the astronomical achievement of Mesopotamia
Annette [7]
Beginning around 5,500 years ago, the Sumerians built cities along the rivers in Lower Mesopotamia, specialized, cooperated, and made many advances in technology. The wheel, plow, and writing (a system which we call cuneiform) are examples of their achievements.

A motorboat traveling on a straight course slows
never [62]

Answer:

2.572 m/s²

Explanation:

Convert the given initial velocity and final velocity rates to m/s:

  • 65 km/h → 18.0556 m/s
  • 35 km/h → 9.72222 m/s

The motorboat's displacement is 45 m during this time.

We are trying to find the acceleration of the boat.

We have the variables v₀, v, a, and Δx. Find the constant acceleration equation that contains all four of these variables.

  • v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute the known values into the equation.

  • (9.72222)² = (18.0556)² + 2a(45)
  • 94.52156173 = 326.0046914 + 90a
  • -231.4831296 = 90a
  • a = -2.572

The magnitude of the boat's acceleration is |-2.572| = 2.572 m/s².
