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°

if abus travelling at 20m/s is subject to steady decceleration of 5m/s².how long will it take yo come to rest.​
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-5 m/s²) t + 20 m/s

t = 4 s

The diameter of an atom is 1.1×10−10m and the diameter of its nucleus is 1.0×10−14m. Part A What percent of the atom's volume is
77julia77 [94]

To solve this problem we will use the basic concept given by the Volume of a sphere with which the atom approaches. The fraction in percentage terms would be given by the division of the total volume of the nucleus by that of the volume of the atom, that is,

\% Percent = \frac{V_{nucleus}}{V_{atom}}*100

\% Percent = \frac{4/3 \pi (d_{nucleus}/2)^3}{4/3 \pi (d_{atom}/2)^3}*100

\% Percent = \frac{(d_{nucleus}/2)^3}{ (d_{atom}/2)^3}*100

\% Percent =\frac{(1.0*10^{-14}/2)^3}{ (1.1*10^{-10}/2)^3}*100

\% Percent = 7.51*10^{-13}*100

\% Percent = 7.51*10^{-11}\%

Therefore the percent of the atom's volume is occupied by mass is 7.51*10^{-11}\%
