The correct answer is A. Electron cloud

Explanation:

An electron is a type of particle that can be found orbiting the nucleus of atoms. In the last years, scientists have determined electrons are not in a fixed position but can be found in different zones at a specific time; moreover, electrons behave similarly to waves, which makes it difficult to locate their positions in the atoms. Despite this, there are certain regions in which you will likely find an electron at a certain time, these zones are known as the electron cloud. Thus, the term that refers to the region where there is a high probability of finding an atom is the electron cloud.

A photon of wavelength 7.33 pm scatters at an angle of 157° from an initially stationary, unbound electron. What is the de Brogl

Ann [662]

Answer:

4.63 p.m.

Explanation:

The problem given here can be solved by the 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, $\theta=157^{\circ}$

Putting the respective values, we get

$\lambda^{'}-\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 3\times 10^{8} } (1-cos157^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42\times 10^{-12} (1-cos157^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42(1-cos157^\circ ) p.m.$

Therfore,

$\lambda^{'}-\lambda=4.64 p.m.$

Here, the photon's incident wavelength is $\lamda=7.33pm$

So,

$\lambda^{'}=7.33+4.64=11.97 p.m$

From the conservation of momentum,

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

here, $\vec{P_\lambda}$ 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,

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

Therfore,

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{7.33\times 11.97}{\sqrt{7.33^{2}+11.97^{2}-2\times 7.33\times 11.97\times cos157^\circ }} p.m.\\\lambda_{e}=\frac{87.7401}{18.935} = 4.63 p.m.$

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