Consider a collision between an x-ray photon of initial energy 50.0keVand an electron at rest, in which the photon is scattered backward and the electron is knocked forward.

(a) What is the energy of the backscattered photon?

(b) What is the kinetic energy of the electron?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The energy of the backscattered photon is41.8鈥塳别痴.

(b) The kinetic energy of the electron is 8.2鈥塳别痴.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Initial energy of the photon,

02

Determine the formulas to calculate the energy of the backscattered photon and kinetic energy of the electron. 

The expression to calculate the initial energy is given as follows.

鈥(颈)

Here,h is the plank鈥檚 constant and c is the speed of light.

The expression to calculate the change in the wavelength is given as follows.

=hmc(1cos) 鈥(颈颈)

Here,m is the mass of the electron.

The expression to calculate the kinetic energy of the electron is given as follows.

K=E-E' 鈥(颈颈颈)

Here, E'is the energy of backscattered photon.

03

Calculate the energy of the backscattered photon.

The value of plank鈥檚 constant is, 6.621034鈥尘办驳/s.

The value of mass of electron is,9.111031鈥塳驳.

Since the photon is backscattered and electron is knocked forward, therefore the angle, =180.

Substitute180forinto equation (ii).

=hmc(1cos180)=hmc(1(1))=2hmc

The new wavelength is given by,

role="math" localid="1663071812908" '=+'=+1

Calculate the energy of photon when it is backscattered.

E'=hc'

Substitute +1for'into above equation.

E'=hc+1E'=hc+1

Substitute E forhcinto above equation.

E'=E+1

Substitute2h/mcforand hc/Eforinto above equation.

E'=E2hmchcE+1E'=E2hEmhc2+1E'=E2Emc2+1

And,

mc2=9.111031鈥塳驳(3108鈥尘/s)2=8.1991014鈥塉=8.19910146.2421015鈥塳别痴=511.78鈥塳别痴mc2511鈥塳别痴

Substitute50鈥塳别痴for E and 511鈥塳别痴for mc2into above equation

E'=50鈥塳别痴250鈥塳别痴511鈥塳别痴+1E'=50鈥塳别痴100511+1E'=50鈥塳别痴1.1956E'=41.8鈥塳别痴

Hence the energy of the backscattered photon is .41.8鈥塳别痴

04

Calculate the kinetic energy of the electron.

Calculate the kinetic energy of electron.

Substitute41.8鈥塳别痴for E'and 50鈥塳别痴for E into equation (iii).

K=50鈥塳别痴41.8鈥塳别痴K=8.2鈥塳别痴

Hence the kinetic energy of the electron is8.2鈥塳别痴.
