We analyze the photoelectric effect using photon energy alone. Why isn't the photon momentum a consideration? (It may help to reread the discussion of momentum and energy in connection with pair production.)
In positron emission tomography (PET), discussed in progress and Applications, an electron and positron annihilate, and two photons of characteristic energy are detected. What is this energy and what is the corresponding wavelength? The pair can be assumed to be essentially stationary before annihilation.
What is the stopping potential when light strikes a zinc plate?
Show that the angles of scatter of the photon and electron in the Compton effect are related by the following formula:
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
