After a 0.8 mm x-ray photon scatters from a free electron, the electron recoils at 1.4 x 106 m/s. (a) What is the Compton shift in the photon's wavelength? (b) Through what angle is the photon scattered?
The minimum wavelength of electromagnetic radiation that is capable of removing electrons from the surface of barium metal is 693 nm.i. Calculate the work function for barium metal in kilojoules per mole of electrons ejected. If a light source with a frequency of 3.75x10^14 s‒1 is directed at the surface of barium metal, what will be the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons?
X-rays with a wavelength of 0.0100 nm are incident on a target containing free electrons. Choose X-rays scattered at an angle of 180°. Determine the change in wavelength of the scattered radiation, the change in energy of the photon in the incident and scattered beams, the kinetic energy transferred to the electron. Calculate the same quantities for X-rays scattered at an angle of 90°.
