Answer:

(a) the time needs for her to cross the river is 2736.8 s.

(b) the distance takes to reach the other side of the river is 2490.5 m.

Explanation:

given information:

woman's speed, v₁ = 1.9 m/s

the wide of river, s = 5.2 km = 5200 m

river's current, v₂ = 0.91 m/s

(a) How much time does it take her to cross the river?

s = v t

s = the displacement (m)

v = speed (m/s)

t = time (s)

s = v t

t = s/v

 = 5200/1.9

 = 2736.8 s

(b) How far downstream will the river carry her by the time she reaches the other side of the river?

s = v t

  = (0.91) (2736.8)

  = 2490.5 m

Consider Compton Scattering with visible light.A photon with wavelength 500nm scatters backward(theta=180degree) from a free ele
JulijaS [17]

Answer: 4.86(10)^{-12}m

Explanation:

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

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

Where:  

\lambda'=500 nm=500(10)^{-9} m is the wavelength of the scattered photon

\lambda_{o}  is the wavelength of the incident photon

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}.c}, being h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c=3(10)^{8}m/s the speed of light in vacuum.  

\theta=180\° the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.  

\Delta \lambda=2.43(10)^{-12} m (1-cos(180\°)) (2)

\Delta \lambda=4.86(10)^{-12}m (3)  This is the shift in wavelength
