Compton used X-rays of 0.071nm wavelength. Some of the carbon鈥檚 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鈥檚 atomic mass. Show that this explains why some X-rays of the incident wavelength were scattered at all angles.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The concept of Compton scattering explains that light is scattering at all angles instead of just the outer electrons.

Step by step solution

01

 Writing the Compton scattering equation, explaining its terms.

'-=hmc(1-cos)

Where 'is the wavelength of the scattered photon, is the wavelength of the incident photon, and 胃 is angle with which the photon scatters with its incident direction.

02

Finding the scattered wavelength.

From the Compton scattering equation,

'=+hmc1-cos

Substituting 位 = 0.071 nm, mass of carbon= 12 amu = 1.99脳10-26kg.

Hence,

'=0.07110-9m+6.62510-34Js1.9910-26kg3108m/s1-cos=7.110-11m+1.1110-161-cos=7.110-11m

03

Analysis of scattering angle.

We can see from the above equation that 1.11脳10-16 is much smaller compared to 7.1脳10-11. Hence for all values of 胃, the cos胃 value does not change much.

Therefore the wavelength of the scattered photon does not change much compared to the incident X-ray wavelength if the mass of an electron is replaced by the mass of carbon.

To expose photographic films. photons of light dissociate silver bromide AgBrmolecules which requires an energy of 1.2eV . What limit does this impose on the wavelengths that may be recorded by photographic film?

A 940kHz radio station broadcasts of power. How many photons emanate from the transmitting antenna every second?

An isolated atom can emit a photon and the atom's internal energy drops. In fact, the process has a name:spontaneous emission. Can an isolated electron emit a photon? Why or why not?

A flashlight beam produces 2.5 W of electromagnetic radiation in a narrow beam. Although the light it produces is white (all visible wavelengths), make the simplifying assumption that the wavelength is 550 nm, the middle of the visible spectrum. (a) How many photons per second emanate from the flashlight (b) What force would the beam exert on a 鈥減erfect mirror鈥?

The electromagnetic intensity of all wavelengths thermally radiated by a body of temperature T is given by

I=T4where=5.6610-8Wm2K4

This is the Stefan-Boltzmann Law. To derive it. show that the total energy of the radiation in a volume V attemperature T is U=85kB4VT4/15h3c3 by integrating Planck's spectral energy density over all frequencies. Note that

0x3ex-1dx=415

Intensity, or power per unit area, is then the product of energy per unit volume and distance per unit time. But because the intensity is a flow in a given direction away from the blackbody, c is not the correct speed. For radiation moving uniformly in all directions, the average component of velocity in a given direction is14c .
