(b) the fractional Compton shift , and

(c) the changeE in photon energy for light of wavelength =590nmscattering from a free, initially stationary electron if the scattering is at to the direction of the incident beam? What are

(d) ,

(e) , and

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, (a) the Compton shift is 2.43鈥塸尘.

(b) the fractional shift is 4.11106.

(c) the change in photon energy is 8.67106鈥塭痴.

(d) remains the same as 2.43 pm.

(e) the value of fractional change in wavelength is 9.78102for incident beam.

(f) the change in photon energy is4.45kevfor incident beam

Step by step solution

01

(a) Evaluate the Compton shift.

Use the formula then it gives;

=hmec(1cos)=2.43(1cos90)=2.43鈥塸尘

Hence, the Compton shift is .2.43鈥塸尘

02

(b) The fractional Compton shift.

The dfractional shift should be interpreted as divided by the original wavelength as follows:

=2.425pm590nm=4.11106

Hence, the fractional shift is4.11106 .

03

(c) The change in photon energy.

The change in energy for a photon with =590nmis given by:

Eph=(hc)hc2=(4.141015eVs)(2.998108m/s)(2.43鈥嬧赌pm)(590nm)2=8.67106鈥塭痴

Hence, the change in photon energy is 8.67106鈥塭痴.

04

(d) Evaluate the value Δλ.

For an x-ray photon of energy Eph=50keV, remains the same i.e, 2.43 pm, since it is independent of Eph.

Hence, remains the same as 2.43 pm.

05

(e) Evaluate the value Δλλ .

The fractional change in wavelength is solved as follows:

=hc/Eph=(50103eV)(2.43鈥塸尘)(4.141015eVs)(2.998108m/s)=9.78102

Hence, the value of fractional change in wavelength is 9.78102.

06

(f) Evaluate the change in photon energy.

The change in photon energy is solved as follows:

Eph=hc1+1=hc+=Eph1+

Here,=. With Eph=50keVand =9.78102thus, it gives:

Eph=4.45kev

Hence, the change in photon energy is 4.45kev.

The Sun is approximately an ideal blackbody radiator with surface temperature of 5800 K.

(a) Find the wavelength at which its spectral radiancy is maximum and

(b) identify the type of magnetic wave corresponding to that wavelength.

(c) As we shall discuss in chapter 44, the universe is approximately an ideal blackbody radiator with radiation emitted when atoms first formed. Today the spectral radiancy of that radiation peaks at a wavelength of 1.06 mm (in the microwave region). What is the corresponding temperature of the universe?

In an old-fashioned television set, electrons are accelerated through a potential difference of 25.0kV. What is the de Broglie wavelength of such electrons? (Relativity is not needed.)

Consider a balloon filled with helium gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Calculate (a) the average de Broglie wavelength of the helium atoms and (b) the average distance between atoms under these conditions. The average kinetic energy of an atom is equal to 3/2kT, wherek is the Boltzmann constant. (c) Can the atoms be treated as particles under these conditions? Explain.

Question: You will find in Chapter 39 that electrons cannot move in definite orbits within atoms, like the planets in our solar system. To see why, let us try to 鈥渙bserve鈥 such an orbiting electron by using a light microscope to measure the electron鈥檚 presumed orbital position with a precision of, say, 10pm(a typical atom has a radius of about localid="1663132292844" 100pm). The wavelength of the light used in the microscope must then be about 10pm. (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? (c) What do these results tell you about the possibility of 鈥渧iewing鈥 an atomic electron at two or more points along its presumed orbital path? (Hint:The outer electrons of atomsare bound to the atom by energies of only a few electron-volts.)

What is the maximum kinetic energy of electrons knocked out of a thin copper foil by Compton scattering of an incident beam of 17.5 keV x-rays? Assume the work function is negligible.
