QUESTION:
An x ray with a wavelength of 0.100 nm collides with an electron that is initially at rest. The x rays final wavelength is 0.110 nm. What is the final kinetic energy of the electron?
ANSWER:The final kinetic energy of the electron is equal to the energy gained by the x ray in the collision. The energy gained by the x ray is equal to the difference in the energy of the x ray before and after the collision.
The energy of the x ray with wavelength 0.100 nm is equal to the Planck constant (h) multiplied by the speed of
