A photon of wavelength 15 x 10^-12 m hits an electron at rest, causing the electron to move. The photon bounces off the electron

at some angle θ relative to its original direction. If its new wavelength is 16 x 10^-12 m, what is θ? (a) 24° (b) 36° (c) 54° (d) 66°

Answer:

c) 54°

Explanation:

let h be the planck constant, m be the mass of an electron and c be the speed of light. let λn be the new wavelength and λ be the initial wavelength. [h/(m×c)] = 2.43×10^-12 m.

then, according to compton effect:

          Δλ = [h/(m×c)]×(1 - cos(θ))

     λn - λ = [h/(m×c)]×(1 - cos(θ))

1 - cos(θ) = (λn - λ)/[h/(m×c)]

  cos(θ)  = 1 - (λn - λ)/[h/(m×c)]

   cos(θ) =  1 - (16×10^-12 - 15×10^-12)/[2.43×10^-12]

   cos(θ) = 0.5884773663

           θ = 53.95°

              ≈ 54°

n outer space, a constant net force with a magnitude of 140 N is exerted on a 32.5 kg probe initially at rest. A) What accelerat
musickatia [10]

Answer:

a) 4.31 m/s²

b) 215.5 m

Explanation:

a) According to Newton's first law of motion

The net force applied to particular mass produced acceleration, a, according to

F = ma

F = 140 N

m = 32.5 kg

a = ?

140 = 32.5 × a

a = 140/32.5 = 4.31 m/s²

b) Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the distance travelled by the object in t = 10 s

u = initial velocity of the probe = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

a = 4.31 m/s²

t = 10 s

s = distance travelled = ?

s = ut + at²/2

s = 0 + (4.31×10²)/2 = 215.5 m
