Q1. If the recoil angle of the electron in Compton effect is 45® and if the energy of
the incident photon is 3Mev and the find the scattering angle of the scattering
photon?

Q2. A Photon of the frequency λ is scattered by a electron initially at rest .Verify

that the maximum kinetic energy of the recoil electron

KE =(2h2v2/mc2)/(1+2hv/mc2).Calculate the k E of the recoil electron if the energy

of incident photon is 2 MeV ?

Q3. The wavelength λ0=6.625*10-13 m required as work function but metal

surface is irradiated by a λ= 15x10-13m . Find the kinetic energy of the electron
emitted From the metal surface?

4.Consider a black-body of surface area 20.0cm2 and temperature 5000K (a)How

much power does it radiate?(b)At what wavelength does it radiate most
intensely? Find the spectral power per wavelength at (c)this wavelength and at
wavelength of (d) 1nm (an x-ray or gamma ray ) (e) 5nm (UV light or an x-ray ) (f)
400nm(at the boundary between UV & visible light ) (g) 700nm (at the boundary
between visible & infrared light) (h) 1mm (infrared light or microwave ) and (i)
10cm (a microwave or radio wave )(j) approximately how much power does the
object radiate as visible light?

5. A light source emitting radiation at 7x1014Hz is incapable of ejecting

photoelectrons from certain metal. In an attempt to use this source to eject
photoelectrons from the metal ,the source is given a velocity towards the metal
(a) Explain how this procedure can produce photo electrons (b) when the speed
of the light source is equal to .280c ,photoelectrons just begin to be ejected from
the metal? what is the work-function of the metal? (c) when the speed of the
light source is increased to .900c ,determine the maximum kinetic energy of the
photoelectrons?
6. In a certain vacuum tube, electron evaporate from a hot cathode at a slow
steady rate and accelerate from rest through a potential difference of 45 V then
they travel 28 cm. as they pass through an array of slits and fall on a screen to
produce an interference pattern .If the beam current is below a certain value,
only one electron at a time will be in flight in the tube. What is this value? In this
situation, the interference pattern still appears showing that each individual
electron can interfere with itself?

Q7.Show that the de Broglie wavelength of a particle of mass m and kinetic

energy is given by λ= hc/√(KE(Ke+2mc2))?

Q8 How accurately can the positionof a proton with v<<c be determined without
giving it more than 1.00KeV of the kinetic energy?
