When a beam of mono-energetic electrons is directed at a tungsten target, X-rays are produced with wavelengths no shorter than . How fast are the electrons in the beam moving?
Equation (3-1) expresses Planck's spectral energy density as an energy per range df of frequencies. Quite of ten, it is more convenient to express it as an energy per range of wavelengths, By differentiating we find that . Ignoring the minus sign (we are interested only in relating the magnitudes of the ranges df and ). show that, in terms of wavelength. Planck's formula is
Compton used X-rays of 0.071nm wavelength. Some of the carbon’s electrons are too tightly bound to be stripped away by these X-rays, which accordingly interact essentially with the atom as a whole. In effect mein equation (3-8) is replaced by carbon’s atomic mass. Show that this explains why some X-rays of the incident wavelength were scattered at all angles.
You are conducting a photoelectric effect experiment by shining a light of 500 nmwavelength at a piece of metal and determining the stopping potential. If, unbeknownst to you, your 500 nm source actually contained a small amount of ultraviolet light, would it throw off your results by a small amount, or by quite a bit? Explain.
A low-intensity beam of light is sent toward a narrow single slit. On the far side, individual flashes are seen sporadically at detectors over a broad area that is orders of magnitude wider than the slit width. What aspects of the experiment suggest a wave nature for light, and what aspects suggest a particle nature?
