41.11
A 410 nm photon scatters of off
an neon atom (mNe = 3.3 × 10-26 kg)
such that it ends up travelling back along
its path and its wavelength has been
changed to 630 nm.
If the photon was travelling along the pos-
itive x-axis before the collision then:
(a) What was the momentum of the
photon before the collision (in Ns)?
(b) What is the momentum of the pho-
ton after the collision (in N s)?
(c) What is the change in momentum of
the photon (in N s)?
(d) What is the change in momentum of
the atom (in N s)?
(e) What is the change in speed of the
atom (in m s-1)?
