  • Q2
    What is the result of the Compton Effect on the energy of the scattered photon compared to the incident photon?
    The energy is not affected
    The energy of the scattered photon is higher

  • Q3
    How does the Compton Effect demonstrate the particle-like behavior of light?
    It illustrates how light can bend around obstacles
    It proves that light only behaves as a wave
    It indicates that no energy is transferred between light and matter
    It shows that photons can collide with electrons like particles

  • Q4
    What kind of energy transformation occurs in the Compton Effect during the collision between a photon and an electron?
    No energy transformation occurs
    Electron energy is fully absorbed by the photon
    Both photon and electron energy are converted to thermal energy
    Photon energy is partially transferred to the electron

  • Q5
    Which of the following equations represents the relationship observed in the Compton Effect?
    p = mv
    Δλ = λ' - λ = h/(m_e c)(1 - cos θ)
    E = mc^2
    F = ma

  • Q6
    Which experimental setup is commonly used to observe the Compton Effect?
    Optical diffraction experiment
    X-ray scattering experiments
    Photoelectric effect apparatus
    Mass spectrometer
    30s
  • Q7
    What is the main factor affecting the change in wavelength observed in the Compton Effect?
    The type of electron involved
    The initial energy of the photon
    The temperature of the medium
    The angle at which the photon scatters
    30s
  • Q8
    What is the significance of the Compton wavelength?
    It is the wavelength of light where all photons are absorbed
    It is the quantum limit of a particle's position and momentum
    It represents the size of an atom
    It defines the speed of light
    30s
  • Q9
    In the Compton Effect, what happens to the wavelength of a photon after it scatters off an electron?
    It becomes zero
    It decreases
    It increases
    It remains the same
    30s
  • Q10
    What is the primary phenomenon described by the Compton Effect?
    The diffraction of light through a prism
    The absorption of photons by atoms
    The emission of electrons from a metal surface
    The scattering of photons by electrons
