Question

calculate the mass of a proton having a wavelength 5984Angstron and velocity 3×10^8° meter second​

Answer 1

By the end of this section, you will be able to:

• Relate the linear momentum of a photon to its energy or wavelength, and apply linear momentum conservation to simple processes involving the emission, absorption, or reflection of photons.
• Account qualitatively for the increase of photon wavelength that is observed, and explain the significance of the Compton wavelength.
