(a) the Compton shift Δλ,

(b) the fractional Compton shiftΔλλ , and

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

(d) Δλ,

(e) Δλλ, and

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, (a) the Compton shift is 2.43 p³¾.

(b) the fractional shift is 4.11×10−6.

(c) the change in photon energy is −8.67×10−6 e³Õ.

(d) remains the same as 2.43 pm.

(e) the value of fractional change in wavelength is 9.78×10−2for incident beam.

(f) the change in photon energy is−4.45kevfor incident beam

Step by step solution

01

(a) Evaluate the Compton shift.

Use the formula then it gives;

Δλ=hmec(1−cosÏ•)=2.43(1−cos90∘)=2.43 p³¾

Hence, the Compton shift is .2.43 p³¾

02

(b) The fractional Compton shift.

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

Δλλ=2.425 pm590 nm=4.11×10−6

Hence, the fractional shift is4.11×10−6 .

03

(c) The change in photon energy.

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

ΔEph=Δ(hcλ)≈−hcΔλλ2=−(4.14×10−15eVâ‹…s)(2.998×108m/s)(2.43​â¶Ä‰pm)(590 nm)2=−8.67×10−6 e³Õ

Hence, the change in photon energy is −8.67×10−6 e³Õ.

04

(d) Evaluate the value Δλ.

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

Hence, Δλremains the same as 2.43 pm.

05

(e) Evaluate the value Δλλ .

The fractional change in wavelength is solved as follows:

Δλλ=Δλhc/Eph=(50×103eV)(2.43 p³¾)(4.14×10−15eVâ‹…s)(2.998×108m/s)=9.78×10−2

Hence, the value of fractional change in wavelength is 9.78×10−2.

06

(f) Evaluate the change in photon energy.

The change in photon energy is solved as follows:

ΔEph=hc1λ+Δλ−1λ=−hcλΔλλ+Δλ=−Ephα1+α

Here,α=Δλλ. With Eph=50keVand α=9.78×10−2thus, it gives:

ΔEph=−4.45kev

Hence, the change in photon energy is −4.45kev.
