Aphoton with energy 662 kev collides with an electron in a metal sample and is scattered causing the electron to recoil. the electron is assumed to be stationary before the collision. write down the relativistic equation of conservation of energy and the equations for the conservation of the horizontal and vertical components of momentum for this collision but do not solve these. (a) a gamma ray photon of wavelength 1.88 pm strikes a metal target and the wavelength of the scattered radiation is measured at an angle (b) 0 90° to the incident beam. calculate: i) the wavelength of the scattered radiation, ii) the kinetic energy of the recoiling electron, ii) the fraction of the energy of the incident photon lost in the collision with the electron, and (iv) the angle made by the trajectory of the recoiling electron with the incident beam. write down an expression for the photon's fractional loss in energy k/e in the type of collision considered in (b) and hence demonstrate with a numerical estimate that the fractional energy loss for visible light is orders of magnitude less than for gamma-ray photons. (n. b., k is kinetic energy, e is total energy)

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line

Estimate the kinetic energy of mars with respect to the sun as the sum of two terms, that due to its daily rotation about its axis, and that due to its yearly revolution about the sun. (assume mars is a uniform sphere with mass = 6.4×10 to the power of 23 kg, radius = 3.4×10 to the power of 6 m, rotation period = 24.7 hours, orbital period = 686 days and is 2.3×10 to the power of 8 km from the sun.)
