FUN 1 EO: 1.9

1 / 10

What is the energy transformation result in Compton Scattering?

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

All of its energy to a positron

Part of its energy to a proton

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

2 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

Only "K" shell electrons

None of the electrons

Only "L" shell electrons

Any electrons except “K” shell

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?

"L" shell (second inner shell)

Outer shells (higher energy levels)

"M" shell (third inner shell)

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

4 / 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

5 / 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

6 / 10

Compton Scattering generally occurs with gamma of what energy range?

Very low energy gamma (eV range)

High energy gamma (high MeV range)

Energy range doesn't matter

Middle energy gamma (low MeV range)

7 / 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

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

8 / 10

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

Albert Einstein

A. H. Compton

Isaac Newton

Niels Bohr

9 / 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

Both waves and particles

Neither waves nor particles

Particles, which could not exhibit wave-like properties

10 / 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
