Question

A photon of energy EO collides with a free electron and scatters with an energy E, moving in the direction of the incident photon. Based on the Compton effect, what is the resulting kinetic energy of the electron after the interaction?
A. EO
B. E
C. EO - E
D. EO + E

Answer 1

Do you have an idea ?

Answer 2

No I don't. I honestly searched my entire physics book and have'nt found anything mentioning it

Answer 3

there are two quantities that is conserved at compton scattering, Energy and linear momentum.

lost energy by the photon must be equal the kinetic energy of the electron.. therefore it would be C.

Answer 4

Thank you! Which phenomenon offers evidence for the wave nature of light?
A. Compton effect
B. Diffraction
C. Photoelectric effect
D. Rutherford scattering

I was think it was B but wasnt sure

Answer 5

yes, that is true..

Answer 6

Thank you! Is this one B as well or is there another reason?

Which phenomenon offers evidence for the particle nature of light?
A. Compton scattering
B. Diffraction
C. Dispersion
D. Interference

Answer 7

it would be A.

Answer 8

Oh okay. Thank you again!
