Homework 2
Question One
X-rays of wavelength 0.2400 nm are Compton scattered and the scattered beam is observed at
an angle of 60 degree relative to the incident beam. Find:
a. the wave length of the scattered x-rays.
b. the energy of the scattered x-ray photons
c. the kinetic energy of the scattered electrons

Question Two
Calculate the de Broglie wavelength for the following objects:
a. object of mass 10 gram moving with velocity 1m/s?
b. Alpha particle with kinetic energy 5 Mev (mα = 6.68x10-27Kg)

Question Three
If the uncertainty in energy E and that in time t of an electron are measured simultaneously
and t is found to be 0.005 s, Calculate the uncertainty in the energy E?
