1. (a) A 210-MeV photon collides with an electron at rest. What is the maximum energy loss of the photon? (b) Repeat (a), but with a proton target rather than an electron. Is the difference between the results reasonable? Why? (Based upon BFG, Problem 4.12) 2. Find the de Broglie wavelength of (a) an electron with a kinetic energy of 1 eV (b) an electron with a kinetic energy of 1 keV (c) an electron with a kinetic energy of...

Rank the following photons in order of their energy, from greatest photon energy to least photon energy. If the photon energy is the same in any two situations, state this. Explain how you made your ranking. The speed of light is c = 3.00 ´ 108 m/s. (i) a photon with wavelength 600 nm = 6.00 ´ 10–7 m (ii) a photon with wavelength 300 nm = 3.00 ´ 10–7 m (iii) a photon with frequency 6.00 ´ 1014 Hz...
