FUN 1 EO: 1.9

1 / 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)

Part of its energy to a proton

All of its energy to a positron

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

2 / 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

3 / 10

Compton Scattering generally occurs with gamma of what energy range?

Very low energy gamma (eV range)

Energy range doesn't matter

High energy gamma (high MeV range)

Middle energy gamma (low MeV range)

4 / 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

Two electrons

An electron and a positron

5 / 10

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

Both waves and particles

Waves, which could not exhibit particle-like properties

Neither waves nor particles

Particles, which could not exhibit wave-like properties

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)

"L" shell (second inner shell)

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

"M" shell (third inner shell)

7 / 10

What did Compton receive in 1927 for his discovery?

Nobel Prize in physics

Grammy Award for Music

Academy Award for Science Communication

Pulitzer Prize in Literature

8 / 10

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

Isaac Newton

Niels Bohr

Albert Einstein

A. H. Compton

9 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

Any electrons except “K” shell

Only "K" shell electrons

None of the electrons

Only "L" shell electrons

10 / 10

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

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

Very high energy gamma, greater than 2 or 3 MeV

Any energy level

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range
