FUN 1 EO: 1.9

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?

"M" shell (third inner shell)

Outer shells (higher energy levels)

"L" shell (second inner shell)

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

2 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

None of the electrons

Only "K" shell electrons

Any electrons except “K” shell

Only "L" shell electrons

3 / 10

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

An electron and a positron

Two electrons

A positron and a neutron

An electron and a neutron

4 / 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

5 / 10

Compton Scattering generally occurs with gamma of what energy range?

Middle energy gamma (low MeV range)

Very low energy gamma (eV range)

High energy gamma (high MeV range)

Energy range doesn't matter

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

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

Albert Einstein

Isaac Newton

Niels Bohr

A. H. Compton

8 / 10

What is the energy transformation result in Compton Scattering?

Part of its energy to a proton

All of its energy to a positron

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)

9 / 10

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

Very high energy gamma, greater than 2 or 3 MeV

Any energy level

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

10 / 10

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

The photon splits into two photons

The photon changes into a neutron

The photon partially loses energy

The photon transfers all energy and disappears
