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

As the plane falls the parabolic path remains directly below as the plane continues to fly over. This give more of an overview. When the package falls vertical acceleration happens as there is a vertical velocity as the package falls form high above. The downwards motion of gravity acts on the package if the approximated projectile motion ignoring air resistance.

Humans are a part of the Earth system. List at least three examples of how you, in particular, influence one or more of Earth’s
Naily [24]

Answer:

True, The humans have modified their environment the ecological system

Explanation:

  • Human is a part of the earth system and they are included in the ecological system that in particular is concerned with the provision of the feedback mechanism and cyclic flow of the system of energy such as the atmosphere, cryosphere, and the biosphere and the hydrosphere.
  • The human has already and influences the earth's physical system alike that of the atmospheric system in terms of the climate changes and the global warming that is taking place at a massive scale.  
  • They are influencing the soil and land systems in terms of the depletion resources and the disturbing the hydrological cycles on earth that further influence the amounts of rainfall patterns.
  • <u>The three examples</u><u> </u><u>given above are those of the use of the natural resources and thereby depletion of resources which are needed to sustain the functioning of the planet and various fields of the economics and the geology and that of the socio systems are also impacted and these forms the earth's major sphere of life.</u>

The energy required to dislodge electrons from sodium metal via the photoelectric effect is 275 kj/mol. What wavelength in nm of
denis23 [38]

Answer: 430 nm

Explanation:

For 257 kJ to dislodge one mole of electrons we need,

275 x 10^3 / 6 x 10^23 = 4.6 x 10^-19

Using Einstein’s relationship between energy, frequency and wavelength

E = hf = h x (c/landa)

Therefore

Landa = h x (c/E) = 6.6 x 10^-34 x (3 x 10^8 / 4.6 x 10^-19 = 4.3 x 10-7 m.

In nm, landa = 430 nm
