1 / 10

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

Two electrons

An electron and a positron

A positron and a neutron

An electron and a neutron

2 / 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)

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

All of its energy to a positron

3 / 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?

Outer shells (higher energy levels)

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

"M" shell (third inner shell)

"L" shell (second inner shell)

4 / 10

Compton Scattering generally occurs with gamma of what energy range?

High energy gamma (high MeV range)

Energy range doesn't matter

Very low energy gamma (eV range)

Middle energy gamma (low MeV range)

5 / 10

What did Compton receive in 1927 for his discovery?

Academy Award for Science Communication

Pulitzer Prize in Literature

Nobel Prize in physics

Grammy Award for Music

6 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

Only "K" shell electrons

Only "L" shell electrons

None of the electrons

Any electrons except “K” shell

7 / 10

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

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range

Very high energy gamma, greater than 2 or 3 MeV

Any energy level

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

8 / 10

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

Niels Bohr

Isaac Newton

A. H. Compton

Albert Einstein

9 / 10

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

The photon transfers all energy and disappears

The photon changes into a neutron

The photon partially loses energy

The photon splits into two photons

10 / 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

Neither waves nor particles

Waves, which could not exhibit particle-like properties

Both waves and particles
