Gamma rays (?-rays) are high-energy photons. In a certain nuclear reaction, a ?-ray of energy 0.836 MeV (million electronvolts) is produced. Compute the frequency of such a photon. How do I enter 2.02*10^20 in the answer window?
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.
