JC-24) Atomic Nucleus In order to study the atomic nucleus, we would like to observe the diffraction of particles whose de Broglie wavelength is about the size as the nuclear diameter, ~14 fm for a heavy nucleus such as lead. What kinetic energy should we use if the diffracted particles are (a) electrons, (b) neutrons and (c) alpha particles (mass = 4 u)
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.
Explain the steps to find the answer. Show which equation you are using and why you are using it. Also a small reflection about the problem. Thanks.
