Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
What is Compton shift?
shift in radiation
shift in wavelength
shift in charge
shift in frequency
Compton effect experiment is carried out with
x ray
gama ray
visible light
heat waves
Compton scattering establishes
photonic nature of electromagnetic wave
wave nature of electromagnetic wave
both wave and particle nature of electro magnetic
electron is a matter
Elements of low atomic mass are preferred in Compton effect
low atomic mass elements are easily available
with low atomic mass coulombic attaraction is less and greater probability of making electron free
with low atomic mass coulombic attaraction is high and greater probability of making electron free
with low atomic mass coulombic attaraction is less and lesser probability of making electron free
In Compton effect we use X-ray because
it is easy to produce
it has very small wave length
x-ray photon has very high energy
it is a X-ray diffraction experiment
Compton wave length is
m0Ch
mch
λCh
(1−Cosα)
Compton Shift given by Δλ=λc(1−Cosα) becomes maximum at
scattering angle equal to 90 degree
scattering angle equal to 0 degree
scattering angle equal to 180 degree
scattering angle equal to 360 degree
We do not use heavy atoms in Compton effect study because
in heavy atom electron-nuclear coulombic attraction is very strong
in heavy atom electron-nuclear coulombic attraction is very weak
in heavy atom electron-electron coulombic attraction is very strong
in heavy atom electron-visible light interaction is very weak
The expression for Compton shift is
m0chcosθ
m0chsinθ
m0ch(1−cosθ)
m0ch(1−sinθ)
The Compton effect can be explained on the basis of __________
Ray optics
Wave optics
Quantum theory of light
Wave nature of light
