AP Physics HW Photon Scattering and X-Ray Emission Name: 1) A photon of wavelength 2.0 10-11 m strikes a free electron of mass me that is initially at rest, as shown above left. After the collision, the photon is shifted in wavelength by an amount Δ = 2h/mec, and reversed in direction, as shown above right. (a) Determine the energy in joules of the incident photon. (b) Determine the magnitude of the momentum of the incident photon. (c) Indicate below whether the photon wavelength is increased or decreased by the interaction. _____ Increased _____ Decreased Explain your reasoning. (d) Determine the magnitude of the momentum acquired by the electron. Answers: 1) a) 9.9 x 10-15 J b) 3.3 x 10-23 kg*m/s c) Increased d) 6.4 x 10-24 kg*m/s 2) An electron of mass m is initially moving with a constant speed v, where v << c. Express all algebraic answers in terms of the given quantities and fundamental constants. (a) Determine the kinetic energy of the electron. (b) Determine the de Broglie wavelength of the electron. The electron encounters a particle with the same mass and opposite charge (a positron) moving with the same speed in the opposite direction. The two particles undergo a head-on collision, which results in the disappearance of both particles and the production of two photons of the same energy. (c) Determine the energy of each photon. (d) Determine the wavelength of each photon. (e) Explain why there must be two photons produced instead of just one. Answers: 2) a) ½mev2 b) h/(mev) c) mec2 d) h/(mec) e) Σp = 0
