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°

What are the benefits of scientists using the metric system worldwide
emmainna [20.7K]

Both systems have benefits and disadvantages.

Benefits of the Metric System

<span>Easier for anything involving conversions.Celsius is based on the the freezing and boiling points of water.Is the most popular system of measurement worldwide. This gives interchangeability internationally.Other systems of measurement, like U.S. standard units, are tied directly to metric units so they can be converted back and forth.<span>You can sell to the government since governments (including the U.S. government) require government contractors to use the metric system for most things.</span></span>

The atmospheric pressure above a swimming pool changes from 753 to 772 mm of mercury. the bottom of the pool is a rectangle (11
Evgesh-ka [11]
Change in pressure : 772-753 = 19 mm Hg 
Since 1 mm Hg = 133 Pa Hg
 Then, 19 mm Hg = 2527 Pa Hg
 Area of rectangular pool = L* B = 11 x 21 = 231 m^2
 To find the force, we multiply the area by the change in pressure: 2527 (231) = 583737N
