A photon with wavelength 0.1100 nm collides with a free electron that is initially at rest. After the collision the wavelength is 0.1132 nm. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the electron after the collision? What is its speed? (b) If the electron is suddenly stopped (for example, in a solid target), all of its kinetic energy is used to create a photon. What is the wavelength of this photon?
You want to use a microscope to study the structure of a mitochondrion about 1.00 um in size. To be able to observe small details within the mitochondrion, you want to use a wavelength of 0.0500 nm. If your microscope uses light of this wavelength, what is the momentum p of a photon? p = kg-m/s If your microscope uses light of this wavelength, what is the energy E of a photon? E = If instead your microscope uses electrons of this de Broglie wavelength, what is the momentum p. of an electron? Pe = kg-m/s If instead your microscope uses electrons of this de Broglie wavelength, what is the velocity v of an electron? v = m/s If instead your microscope uses electrons of this de Broglie wavelength, what is the kinetic energy K of an electron? K = What advantage do your calculations suggest electrons have compared to photons? O An electron's charge allows it to attach to observed particles, whereas a photon's electric neutrality prevents it from moving close enough to the observed particles…
Light of wavelength 340 nm, 600 nm and 680 nm is incident on a metal. Electrons are not emitted from the metal, which of the following is the most likely scenario.     The energy of the photon for 600 nm light corresponds to the work function of the material.     The energy of the photon for 680 nm light corresponds to the work function of the material.     The work function is less than any of these photon energies.     The work function is more than any of these photon energies.     The energy of the photon for 340 nm light corresponds to the work function of the material.
