A parallel X-ray beam is diffracted by sodium chloride. Strong first-order is obtained when the Bragg angle (the angle between the crystal planes and the emerging beam) is 6º 50’. The distance between the planes that are in the reflection position in the crystal is 2,8 Å. 1 angstron = 1 Å = 0,1 nm. a) What is the wavelength of X-rays?
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
