Answer:

2.07 pm

Explanation:

The problem given here is the very well known Compton effect which is expressed as

\lambda^{'}-\lambda=\frac{h}{m_e c}(1-cos\theta)

here, \lambda is the initial photon wavelength, \lambda^{'} is the scattered photon wavelength, h is he Planck's constant, m_e is the free electron mass, c is the velocity of light, \theta is the angle of scattering.

Given that, the scattering angle is, \theta=147^{\circ}

Putting the respective values, we get

\lambda^{'}-\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 3\times 10^{8} } (1-cos147^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42\times 10^{-12} (1-cos147^\circ ) m.\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42(1-cos147^\circ ) p.m.\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=4.45 p.m.

Here, the photon's incident wavelength is \lamda=2.78pm

Therefore,

\lambda^{'}=2.78+4.45=7.23 pm

From the conservation of momentum,

\vec{P_\lambda}=\vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}}+\vec{P_e}

where,\vec{P_\lambda} is the initial photon momentum, \vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}} is the final photon momentum and \vec{P_e} is the scattered electron momentum.

Expanding the vector sum, we get

P^2_{e}=P^2_{\lambda}+P^2_{\lambda^{'}}-2P_\lambda P_{\lambda^{'}}cos\theta

Now expressing the momentum in terms of De-Broglie wavelength

P=h/\lambda,

and putting it in the above equation we get,

\lambda_{e}=\frac{\lambda \lambda^{'}}{\sqrt{\lambda^{2}+\lambda^{2}_{'}-2\lambda \lambda^{'} cos\theta}}

Therefore,

\lambda_{e}=\frac{2.78\times 7.23}{\sqrt{2.78^{2}+7.23^{2}-2\times 2.78\times 7.23\times cos147^\circ }} pm\\\lambda_{e}=\frac{20.0994}{9.68} = 2.07 pm

This is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron after scattering.

Answer:

Aceleración, a = 2 m/s²

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad inicial = 108 km/h

Tiempo = 10 segundos

Velocidad final = 36 km/h

To find the average acceleration;

Conversión:

36 km/h to meters per seconds = 36*1000/3600 = 10 m/s

108 km/h to meters per seconds = 108*1000/3600 = 30 m/s

I. Para encontrar la aceleración, usaríamos la primera ecuación de movimiento;

V = U + at

Dónde;

V es la velocidad final.

U es la velocidad inicial.

a es la aceleración.

t es el tiempo medido en segundos.

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

30 = 10 + a*10

30 = 10 + 10a

10a = 30 - 10

10a = 20

Aceleracion = \frac{20}{10}

Aceleración, a = 2 m/s²

You are looking at a yellow flower growing outside in the sunshine. Why does it look yellow?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

It looks yellow because that is the only (major) color reflected.

Visible spectra is from about 4000-7000 Angstroms (10^-10 m).

Red are longer wavelengths and blue are the shorter wavelengths.

The Sodium doublet (yellow) occurs around 5900 Angstroms.
