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.

A sample of chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes. The isotope Cl-35 (mass 35.0 amu) makes up 75.8% of the sample, and t
irinina [24]

Answer:

M_{av}=35.521amu

Explanation:

As in any sample you will have 75.8% of Cl-35 iosotopes and 24.3% of Cl-37 iosotopes you can get the average atomic mass as:

M_{av}=(35amu*75.8+37amu*24.3)/100=35.521amu

Suppose the three resistors in the picture represents a 240 W
Airida [17]

A fuse is an electrical safety device which should not blow, which should overheat and melts if current is too high. Its placed in the live wire before the switch. This prevents overheating and catching fire. A fuse have a specific current value for example - 3000 amps. So when choosing a suitable fuse you must use the above minimum value but less than maximum value. For example in a circuit there is 1000W flowing, you should choose more than 1000 amps fuse not less or else, it will melt.

Anna [14]

The magnitude of the tension in the string marked A is 52.5N

Generally, the equation for is mathematically given as

Let's take θ be an angle at A

So, tanθ = 3/8

Let's take α be an angle at B (Below X)

tanα = 5/4

Let's take β be an angle at C (Below x)

tanβ = 1/6

First we take the Horizontal Components

74.9cos(9.46°) = Acos(20.6°) + Bcos(51.3°)

By solving the equation, we get

A = 78.9 - 0.668B … (1)

Now, we take the vertical components

74.9sin(9.46°) + Asin(20.6°) = Bsin(51.3°)

By solving the equation, we get

40.07 = 1.015B

B = 39.5N

By substituting the value of B in equation (1)

A = 78.9 - 0.6668× 39.5

A = 52.5N

Hence, the magnitude of the tension in the string marked A is 52.5N
