Answer: 90\°

Explanation:

The Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)     (1)

Where:

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}c}, being h the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c the speed of light in vacuum.

\theta) the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180\°:

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))     (2)

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))    

\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}     (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (4)

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (5)

If we want \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}, 1-cos\theta   must be equal to 1:

1-cos\theta=1   (6)

Finding \theta:

1-1=cos\theta

0=cos\theta  

\theta=cos^{-1} (0)  

Finally:

\theta=90\°    This is the scattering angle that will produce \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}

An electron is accelerated from rest by an electric potential difference of 437 V, and then enters a region of uniform magnetic
Lelu [443]

The radius of the electron's path is once it enters the magnetic field 3.16*10^-4 m.

The electric capacity difference, additionally called voltage, is the outside work needed to bring a rate from one region to some other area in an electric discipline. The electric powered capacity distinction is the change of potential electricity skilled by way of a test rate that has a fee of +1.

The distinction in ability among two points represents the paintings worried or the electricity released in the switch of a unit amount of power from one factor to the other.

Electric ability is the work executed in step with unit fee in bringing the fee from infinity to that factor against electrostatic pressure. In a conductor, electrons float simplest when there is a difference in electric stress at its ends. This is additionally known as the capacity distinction.

Por una espira de 0.5 m2 de área circula una corriente de 5 A. Calcula la densi- dad de flujo magnético B considerando que la es
Sloan [31]

Answer:

\beta=B=8.05\mu T

Explanation:

The density of the magnetic flux is given by the following formula:

\beta=\frac{\Phi_B}{A}=\frac{ABcos\theta}{A}=Bcos\theta

The normal vector A and the vector of the magnitude of the magnetic field are perpendicular, then, the angle is zero:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is calculated by using the formula for B at a distance of x to a point in the plane of the loop:

B=\frac{\mu_oIR^2}{2(x^2+R^2)^{3/2}}

For x = 0 you have:

B=\frac{\mu_oIR^2}{2R^3}=\frac{\mu_oI}{2R}

R is the radius of the circular loop and its values is:

R=\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.5m^2}{\pi}}=0.39m

Then, you replace in the equation for B with mu_o = 4\pi*10^-7 T/A:

B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(5A)}{2(0.39m)}=8.05*10^{-6}T=8.05\mu T

and the density of the magnetic flux is

\beta=B=8.05\mu T
