FUN 1 EO: 1.9

1 / 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)

2 / 10

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

The photon changes into a neutron

The photon partially loses energy

The photon transfers all energy and disappears

The photon splits into two photons

3 / 10

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

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range

Any energy level

Very high energy gamma, greater than 2 or 3 MeV

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

4 / 10

What did Compton receive in 1927 for his discovery?

Academy Award for Science Communication

Nobel Prize in physics

Pulitzer Prize in Literature

Grammy Award for Music

5 / 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

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

Neither waves nor particles

Particles, which could not exhibit wave-like properties

Both waves and particles

7 / 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

8 / 10

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

Isaac Newton

Niels Bohr

A. H. Compton

Albert Einstein

9 / 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)

"M" shell (third inner shell)

"L" shell (second inner shell)

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

10 / 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
