After Compton scattering, the momentum of the photon is decreased to 5.20x10-23 kg m/s, and that of the electron is increased from O to 1.10x10-22 kg m/s. Determine the traveling direction (with reference to the incident direction) of the scattered photon
UV radiation having a wavelength of 84 nm falls on gold metal, to which electrons are bound by 4.82 eV. What is the maximum velocity of the ejected photoelectrons? No need to use relativistic formulas in this case, so you can just use the standard formula KE =12mv2. The correct answer is 1.87E6 m/s how do I get that?

An electron of energy Ee and a photon of energy Ev collide in a scattering event. The photon is scattered in the forward direction, to travel at an angle theta from the horizontal. Assume the electron and photon both remain in the x-y plane after the scattering event. i) Draw a diagram showing the photon and electron after the scattering. Define and include appropriate angles on the diagram. ii) Give expressions for the energy and 3-momentum of the photon before and after scattering, in terms of the photon frequency and relevant angles.

A light source emitting radiation at 7.00 x 10¹4 Hz is incapable of ejecting photoelectrons from a certain metal. In an attempt to use this source to eject photoelectrons from the metal, the source is given a velocity toward the metal. b) When the speed of the light source is equal to 0.280c, photoelectrons just begin to be ejected from the metal. What is the work function of the metal?
Louis de Broglie proposed that a particle of mass m and moving at the speed v will have a wavelength related to its momentum. Air molecules of mass 30 amu travel at speeds which you can take to be 500 ms-1. Calculate their de Broglie wavelength.
The momentum of light, as it is for particles, is exactly reversed when a photon is reflected straight back from a mirror, assuming negligible recoil of the mirror. The change in momentum is twice the photon’s incident momentum, as it is for the particles. Suppose that a beam of light has an intensity I and falls on an area A of a mirror and reflects from it. Er = I A t p = 2 ( I A t )/c Use Newton’s second law to write an equation for the force on the mirror for time t. Use the variables along with c for the speed of light.
