The correct answer is

b. Particles of matter are packed more tightly in the ground than in the air.

Sound waves generally move faster in solids than liquids and gases. The reason is that sound waves are vibrations of the molecules of the medium: therefore, if the particles of the medium are closer together (as in solids), the vibrations can be transmitted faster, and the wave can travel faster. On the contrary, in gases the particles are spread apart, so the vibrations are not transmitted so easily (because there are less collisions between the particles) and the wave travels slower.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

4. Electrons move from higher energy states to lower energy states.

Explanation:

When electrons fall from a higher (excited) energy state to a lower energy state, it loses/gives out energy.

This energy is given out by the emission of photons (quanta of light) by the electron.

X rays of wavelength 0.0169 nm are directed in the positive direction of an x axis onto a target containing loosely bound electr
mamaluj [8]

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
