X rays of wavelength 0.0100 nm are directed in the positive direction of an x axis onto a target containing loosely bound electrons. For Compton scattering from one of those electrons, at an angle of 180°, what are (a) the Compton shift, (b) the corresponding change in photon energy, (c) the kinetic energy of the recoiling electron, and (d) the angle between the positive direction of the x axis and the electron’s direction of motion?
According to quantum mechanics all objects have a wavelength related to their momentum. What is the de Broglie wavelength of an electron that has been accelerated from rest through a potential of 2500V? Select one: a. 0.346 angstroms. b. 5.63 x 10-14 m. c. 0.245 angstroms. d. 0.173 angstroms.
In some scattering experiments, the speed of the particles is tuned so that their de Broglie wavelength has a specific value. If a wavelength of 0.117 nm is required, how fast must a neutron be traveling to achieve this wavelength?
