Chapter 22, Problem 8EAP
A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to acceler-
ate electrons to close to the
electrons collide with a target, but a large majority pass through
the target and impact a beam dump at the end of the accelerator.
In one experiment the beam dump measured charge accumulating
at a rate of —2.0 nC/s. How many electrons traveled down the
accelerator during the 2.0 h run?

The phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material when it absorbs electromagnetic waves is called the photoelectric effect. Visible light shines energy on a metal sheet with energy enough for the metal sheet to emit electrons. In order to measure the energy of these electrons, another negatively charged plate (-24.8 V with respect to the metal sheet) is placed in the path of the electrons. The electrons slow down upon contact with the negatively charged plate and stop. What is the initial speed of these electrons?
A proton is accelerated through a potential difference of 6 MV. (megavolts)
from rest. Calc. the final velocity in m/s (a) 1.4 X 10' (b) 2.4 X 10' (c) 3.4 X 10'
(d) 4.4 X 10'.
An evacuated tube uses an accelerating voltage of 39 kV to accelerate electrons to hit a copper plate and produce X-rays. Non-relativistically, what would be the maximum speed (in m/s) of these electrons?
m/s
