FUN 1 EO: 1.9

1 / 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

Two electrons

A positron and a neutron

2 / 10

What is the energy transformation result in Compton Scattering?

Part of its energy to a proton

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

All of its energy to a positron

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

3 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

Only "L" shell electrons

Only "K" shell electrons

Any electrons except “K” shell

None of the electrons

4 / 10

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

Neither waves nor particles

Both waves and particles

Particles, which could not exhibit wave-like properties

Waves, which could not exhibit particle-like properties

5 / 10

Compton Scattering generally occurs with gamma of what energy range?

High energy gamma (high MeV range)

Energy range doesn't matter

Middle energy gamma (low MeV range)

Very low energy gamma (eV 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?

Outer shells (higher energy levels)

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

"M" shell (third inner shell)

"L" shell (second inner shell)

7 / 10

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

A. H. Compton

Niels Bohr

Isaac Newton

Albert Einstein

8 / 10

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

The photon transfers all energy and disappears

The photon partially loses energy

The photon changes into a neutron

The photon splits into two photons

9 / 10

What did Compton receive in 1927 for his discovery?

Pulitzer Prize in Literature

Academy Award for Science Communication

Grammy Award for Music

Nobel Prize in physics

10 / 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
