AP Physics B Compton Scattering & Photo Electric Effect

  • Day 79
  • Use the photon theory and Compton's hypothesis to calculate the wavelength of a photon after it has been scattered as a result of a collision with an electron.
  • Compton Scattering
  • Notes
Introduction
The Compton Effect is the quantum theory of the scattering of electromagnetic waves by
a charged particle in which a portion of the energy of the electromagnetic wave is given
to the charged particle in an elastic, relativistic collision. Compton scattering was
discovered in 1922 by Arthur H. Compton (1892-1962) while conducting research on the
scattering of x-rays by light elements. In 1922 he subsequently reported his experimental
and theoretical results and received the Nobel prize in 1927 for this discovery. His
theoretical explanation of what is now known as Compton scattering deviated from
classical theory and required the use of special relativity and quantum mechanics, both of
which were hardly understood at the time. When first reported, his results were
controversial, but his work quickly ...

The 1995 question
 Questions
 Methods
 Solutions

Also for the circuit with a capacitor (2000) look at your equation sheet. Easy Peasy.

AP P2

Complete the Question below.  

In the circuit shown below, AB,C, and D are identical light bulbs.  Assume that the battery maintains a constant potential difference between its terminals (i.e., the internal resistance of the battery is assumed to be negligible) and the resistance of each light bulb remains constant.
Draw a diagram of the circuit in the box below, using the following symbols to represent the components in your diagram.  Label the resistors A,BC, and D to refer to the corresponding light bulbs.
->List the bulbs in order of their brightness, from brightest to least bright.  If any two or more bulbs have the same brightness, state which ones.  Justify your answer.

->Bulb D is then removed from its socket.

.
Describe the change in the brightness, if any, of bulb A when bulb D is removed form its socket.  Justify your answer.


->Describe the change in the brightness, if any, of bulb 
B when bulb D is removed from its socket.  Justify you answer.











 B.  List the bulbs in order of their brightness, from brightest to least bright.  If any two or more bulbs have the same brightness, state which ones.  Justify your answer.

.
Describe the change in the brightness, if any, of bulb B when bulb D is removed from its socket.  Justify you answer.

 

Bulb B becomes brighter.

It was receiving the least amount of current since D was an alternate pathway for the current.  With D gone all the current must go through B, which is in series now.  More current means B will be brighter.
