Would you expect to observe every supernova in our own Galaxy? Why or why not?

Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

Only few supernova are observed in our galaxy -

Type II supernovae ( i.e. the explosions of the massive stars ) occurred in the Milky Way, and they might be hidden by the intervening dust if they are located in the more distant parts of our Galaxy .

Type Ia supernovae , which need a white dwarf star in the binary star system , are brighter than the type II supernovae , but some of them could also happen in the older parts of Galaxy which are hidden due to the buildup of the dust and gas .

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.
