Albert Einstein

Isaac Newton

Niels Bohr

2 / 10

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

Two electrons

An electron and a positron

An electron and a neutron

A positron and a neutron

3 / 10

What did Compton receive in 1927 for his discovery?

Academy Award for Science Communication

Pulitzer Prize in Literature

Grammy Award for Music

Nobel Prize in physics

4 / 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

5 / 10

Compton Scattering generally occurs with gamma of what energy range?

Very low energy gamma (eV range)

Middle energy gamma (low MeV range)

High energy gamma (high MeV range)

Energy range doesn't matter

6 / 10

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

The photon transfers all energy and disappears

The photon splits into two photons

The photon changes into a neutron

The photon partially loses energy

7 / 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?

"M" shell (third inner shell)

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

"L" shell (second inner shell)

Outer shells (higher energy levels)

8 / 10

What is the energy transformation result in Compton Scattering?

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

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

Part of its energy to a proton

All of its energy to a positron

9 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

Only "K" shell electrons

Any electrons except “K” shell

Only "L" shell electrons

None of the electrons

10 / 10

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

Any energy level

Very high energy gamma, greater than 2 or 3 MeV

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range
