Answer:

The frequency of the photon decreases upon scattering

Explanation:

Here we note that when a photon is scattered by a charged particle, it is referred to as Compton scattering.

Compton scattering results in a reduction of the energy of the photon and hence an increase in the wavelength (from λ to λ') of the photon known as Compton effect.

Therefore, since the wavelength increases, we have from

λf = λ'f' = c

f = c/λ

Where:

f and f' = The frequency of the motion of the photon before and after the scattering

c = Speed of light (constant)

We have that the frequency, f, is inversely proportional to the wavelength, λ as follows;

f = c/λ

As λ = increases, and c is constant, f decreases, therefore, the frequency of the photon decreases upon scattering.

Find the mass of a person walking west at a speed of 0.8 m/s with a momentum of 52.0 kg.m/s west.
KIM [24]

Answer:

mass of the person walking to west is 65 kg.

Given:

Momentum = 52 \frac{kg m}{s}

Speed = 0.8 \frac{m}{s}

To find:

Mass of the person = ?

Formula used:

Momentum is given by,

P = m × v

Where, P = momentum

m = mass

v = speed

Solution:

Momentum is given by,

P = m × v

Where, P = momentum

m = mass

v = speed

Mass = \frac{P}{v}

m = \frac{52}{0.8}

m = 65 kg

Thus, mass of the person walking to west is 65 kg.

A very long line of charge with charge per unit length +8.00 μC/m is on the x-axis and its midpoint is at x = 0. A second very l
artcher [175]

Answer:

at y=6.29 cm the charge of the two distribution will be equal.

Explanation:

Given:

linear charge density on the x-axis, \lambda_1=8\times 10^{-6}\ C

linear charge density of the other charge distribution, \lambda_2=-6\times 10^{-6}\ C

Since both the linear charges are parallel and aligned by their centers hence we get the symmetric point along the y-axis where the electric fields will be equal.

Let the neural point be at x meters from the x-axis then the distance of that point from the y-axis will be (0.11-x) meters.

<u>we know, the electric field due to linear charge is given as:</u>

E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi.r.\epsilon_0}

where:

\lambda= linear charge density

r = radial distance from the center of wire

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

Therefore,

E_1=E_2

\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi.x.\epsilon_0}=\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi.(0.11-x).\epsilon_0}

\frac{\lambda_1}{x} =\frac{\lambda_2}{0.11-x}

\frac{8\times 10^{-6}}{x} =\frac{6\times 10^{-6}}{0.11-x}

x=0.0629\ m

∴at y=6.29 cm the charge of the two distribution will be equal.

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.6 cm. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Helga [31]

We need the frequency of the photon, it is v = c/ λ

Where c is 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 and λ is the wave length

We also need the expression of connecting frequency to energy of photon 

which is E = hv where h is Planck’s constant

Combining the two equations will give us:

E = h x c/λ

Inserting the values, we will have:

E = 6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8 / 0.126

E = 1.578 x 10^ -24 J

A uniform piece of wire, 20 cm long, is bent in a right angle in the center to give it an L-shape. How far from the bend is the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

the center of mass is 7.07 cm apart from the bend

Explanation:

the centre of mass of a wire of length L is L/2 ( assuming uniform density). Then initially the x coordinate of the centre of mass is

x₁ = L/2 = 20 cm /2 = 10 cm

when the wire is bent in a right angle the coordinates of the new centre of mass will be

x₂ = L₂/2

y₂=  L₂/2

where L₂ is the length of the horizontal piece and vertical piece . Then L₂=L/2

x₂ = L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

y₂= L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

x₂=y₂=X

locating the bend in the origin (0,0) the distance to the centre of mass is

d = √(x₂²+y₂²) = √(2X²) = √2*X=√2*5cm = 7.07 cm

d = 7.07 cm
