a photon with wavelength is incident on an electron that is initially at rest. if the photon scatters in the backward direction, what is the magnitude of the linear momentum of the electron just after the collision with the photon?

Respuesta :

The magnitude of the linear momentum of the electron that is initially at rest just after the collision with the photon is Pe = 6.626 * [tex]10^{-34}[/tex] ( λ' - λ ) / λ λ' kg m / s

λ' - λ = h / [tex]m_{e}[/tex] c ( 1 - cos Φ )

λ = Initial wavelength

λ' = Final wavelength

h = Planck's constant

[tex]m_{e}[/tex] = Mass of electron

c = Speed of light

h = 6.626 * [tex]10^{-34}[/tex] J s

[tex]m_{e}[/tex] = 9.1 * [tex]10^{-31}[/tex] kg

c = 3 * [tex]10^{8}[/tex] m / s

Φ = 180°

λ' = λ + [ 6.626 * [tex]10^{-34}[/tex] / 9.1 * [tex]10^{-31}[/tex] * 3 * [tex]10^{8}[/tex] ( 1 + 1 ) ]

λ' = λ + ( 0.485 * [tex]10^{-11}[/tex] ) m

Pp λ = Pe + Pp λ'

Pe = h / λ - ( - h / λ' )

Pe = h ( 1 / λ - 1 / λ' )

Pe = 6.626 * [tex]10^{-34}[/tex] ( λ' - λ ) / λ λ' kg m / s

Therefore, the magnitude of the linear momentum of the electron just after the collision with the photon is Pe = 6.626 * [tex]10^{-34}[/tex] ( λ' - λ ) / λ λ' kg m / s
