Value /26 Lesson 5.3 Compton, deBroglie & Wave-Particle Duality

6 1. There are similarities and differences between the Photoelectric Effect and Compton Scattering.
Complete each of the six partial statements below using the following guide; all you need to
provide for an answer is PE, CS, BOTH, or NEITHER.

 PE if the statement only applies to the Photoelectric Effect

 CS if the statement only applies to Compton Scattering
 BOTH if the statement only applies to both the Photoelectric Effect and Compton
Scattering
 NEITHER if the statement applies to Neither the Photoelectric Effect or Compton
Scattering

of frquency 4.50 × 1020 Hz is incident on a thin piece of metal.

4 4. Determine the angle of deflection in an experiment when the frequency of an

incident X-ray is set to 2.90 × 1019 Hz and the measured frequency of the deflected
X-ray is 2.82 × 1019 Hz.
