A beam of light strikes a barrier in which there is a narrow single slit. At the very center of a screen beyond the single slit, photons are detected per square millimeter per second.
(a) What is the intensity of the light at the center of the screen?
(b) A secood slit is now added very close to the first. How many photons will be detected per square millineter per sec and at the center of the screen now?
A stationary muon annihilates with a stationary antimuon (same mass, role="math" localid="1657587173645" . but opposite charge). The two disappear, replaced by electromagnetic radiation. (a) Why is it not possible for a single photon to result? (b) Suppose two photons result. Describe their possible directions of motion and wavelengths.
Light of wave length590nm is barely able to eject electrons from a metal plate. What would be the speed of the fastest electrons ejected by the light of one-third the wavelength?
To expose photographic films. photons of light dissociate silver bromide molecules which requires an energy of . What limit does this impose on the wavelengths that may be recorded by photographic film?
A typical ionization energy - the energy needed to remove an electron—for the elements is 10 eV. Explain why the energy binding the electron to its atom can be ignored in Compton scattering involving an X-ray photon with wavelength about one-tenth of a nanometer
