FUN 1 EO: 1.9

1 / 10

What is the primary characteristic of the photon in a photoelectric effect?

The photon changes into a neutron

The photon splits into two photons

The photon partially loses energy

The photon transfers all energy and disappears

2 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

None of the electrons

Only "L" shell electrons

Only "K" shell electrons

Any electrons except “K” shell

3 / 10

Compton's explanation of photons was initially rejected because it was thought that photons exhibited which properties?

Particles, which could not exhibit wave-like properties

Both waves and particles

Neither waves nor particles

Waves, which could not exhibit particle-like properties

4 / 10

For Pair Production to occur, what energy level is required for gamma?

Very high energy gamma, greater than 2 or 3 MeV

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

Any energy level

5 / 10

Compton Scattering generally occurs with gamma of what energy range?

Energy range doesn't matter

Very low energy gamma (eV range)

High energy gamma (high MeV range)

Middle energy gamma (low MeV range)

6 / 10

In the context of a photon transferring all of its energy to an electron and ejecting it, which shell is the electron almost always from?

"L" shell (second inner shell)

Outer shells (higher energy levels)

"K" shell (inner shell - lowest energy level)

"M" shell (third inner shell)

7 / 10

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

Niels Bohr

A. H. Compton

Isaac Newton

Albert Einstein

8 / 10

What did Compton receive in 1927 for his discovery?

Nobel Prize in physics

Grammy Award for Music

Pulitzer Prize in Literature

Academy Award for Science Communication

9 / 10

What is the energy transformation result in Compton Scattering?

All of its energy to an electron (kinetic energy only)

Part of its energy to an electron (binding energy + kinetic energy = beta particle + lesser energy photon)

All of its energy to a positron

Part of its energy to a proton

10 / 10

In the Pair Production process, what is the transformation result of all the photon's energy?

A positron and a neutron

Two electrons

An electron and a positron

An electron and a neutron
