1 / 10

What did Compton receive in 1927 for his discovery?

Pulitzer Prize in Literature

Grammy Award for Music

Academy Award for Science Communication

Nobel Prize in physics

2 / 10

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

A. H. Compton

Albert Einstein

Niels Bohr

Isaac Newton

3 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

None of the electrons

Only "K" shell electrons

Only "L" shell electrons

Any electrons except “K” shell

4 / 10

What is the energy transformation result in Compton Scattering?

Part of its energy to a proton

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

All of its energy to a positron

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

5 / 10

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

The photon changes into a neutron

The photon transfers all energy and disappears

The photon splits into two photons

The photon partially loses energy

6 / 10

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

Waves, which could not exhibit particle-like properties

Both waves and particles

Particles, which could not exhibit wave-like properties

Neither waves nor particles

7 / 10

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

An electron and a neutron

An electron and a positron

A positron and a neutron

Two electrons

8 / 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?

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

Outer shells (higher energy levels)

"M" shell (third inner shell)

"L" shell (second inner shell)

9 / 10

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

Any energy level

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

Very high energy gamma, greater than 2 or 3 MeV

10 / 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)
