Concept explainers

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.

For questions (1) – (8) use the following information. You have measured the length of a table to be 205.0 cm, 205.8 cm, 205.4 cm, 204.6 cm, and 204.9 cm five independent times. You measured the width of the same table to be 60.1 cm, 60.4 cm, 60.2 cm, 60.0 cm, and 60.5 cm five independent times. 1) Calculate the mean length L of the table. 2) Calculate the standard deviation of the mean length σ of the table. 3) Calculate the mean width W of the table. 4) Calculate the standard deviation of the mean width ow of the table. 5) Calculate the area A = L x W of the table. 6) Using the correct equation for propagation of error, calculate the uncertainty of the area OA of the table.
