The binding energies of K-shell and L-shell electrons in copper are 8.979 and 0.951 keV, respectively. If a Ka x ray from copper is incident on a sodium chloride crystal and gives a first-order Bragg reflection at an angle of 74.1° measured relative to parallel planes of sodium atoms, what is the spacing between these parallel planes?
A beam of α particles of kinetic energy E = 10 MeV and intensity I = 1 μ A hits a lead target [A = 207, Z = 82, ρ = 1.14 x 104 kg m-3] of thickness t = 0.2 mm. We locate a counter of area S = 1 cm2 at a distance of l = 0.5 m beyond the target at the angle θ = 40°. Neglecting, when necessary, the variation of the angle on the detector find: (a) the number of incident particles per second Ri, (b) the solid angle ΔΩ under which the target sees the detector, (c) the differential cross-section at the detector, and (d) how many hits the detector counts per second.
To “see” such an orbiting electron by using a light microscope to measure the electron’s presumed
orbital position with a precision of 10 pm (1 p = 1 pico = 10^-12), (a) What would be the photon energy of this light? (b) How much energy would such a photon impart to an electron in a head-on collision?
