Explanation Given: Kinetic energy of the particles: 285 keV Formula Used: h f = h c λ = 2 m 0 c 2 Calculation: The energy of photon can be calculate as E p h = 2 ( KE+ m 0 c 2 ) = 2 ( 0.285 MeV + 0.511 MeV ) = 1.592 MeV ≈ 1...

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 ligh…

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.
