FUN 1 EO: 1.9

1 / 10

Compton Scattering generally occurs with gamma of what energy range?

High energy gamma (high MeV range)

Very low energy gamma (eV range)

Energy range doesn't matter

Middle energy gamma (low MeV range)

2 / 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

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?

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

"L" shell (second inner shell)

"M" shell (third inner shell)

Outer shells (higher energy levels)

4 / 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 splits into two photons

The photon changes into a neutron

5 / 10

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

Both waves and particles

Particles, which could not exhibit wave-like properties

Waves, which could not exhibit particle-like properties

Neither waves nor particles

6 / 10

Compton Scattering was first fully explained by which physicist?

Niels Bohr

Isaac Newton

A. H. Compton

Albert Einstein

7 / 10

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

A positron and a neutron

Two electrons

An electron and a positron

An electron and a neutron

8 / 10

In Compton Scattering, which electrons are typically affected?

Only "L" shell electrons

Any electrons except “K” shell

Only "K" shell electrons

None of the electrons

9 / 10

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

Any energy level

Low energy gamma, around 1 eV range

Very high energy gamma, greater than 2 or 3 MeV

Moderate energy gamma, around 500 KeV

10 / 10

What did Compton receive in 1927 for his discovery?

Academy Award for Science Communication

Grammy Award for Music

Pulitzer Prize in Literature

Nobel Prize in physics
