1 / 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)

2 / 10

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

A positron and a neutron

An electron and a neutron

An electron and a positron

Two electrons

3 / 10

Compton Scattering generally occurs with gamma of what energy range?

Middle energy gamma (low MeV range)

Energy range doesn't matter

High energy gamma (high MeV range)

Very low energy gamma (eV range)

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

Neither waves nor particles

Both waves and particles

Waves, which could not exhibit particle-like properties

5 / 10

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

Niels Bohr

A. H. Compton

Albert Einstein

Isaac Newton

6 / 10

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

The photon partially loses energy

The photon transfers all energy and disappears

The photon changes into a neutron

The photon splits into two photons

7 / 10

What did Compton receive in 1927 for his discovery?

Grammy Award for Music

Pulitzer Prize in Literature

Nobel Prize in physics

Academy Award for Science Communication

8 / 10

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

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range

Any energy level

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

Very high energy gamma, greater than 2 or 3 MeV

9 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

Only "L" shell electrons

Only "K" shell electrons

None of the electrons

Any electrons except “K” shell

10 / 10

What is the energy transformation result in Compton Scattering?

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)

Part of its energy to a proton

All of its energy to a positron
