pair of silver plates in a vacuum are separated by 1 cm and have a potential difference of 2.0 kV between them. What is the largest wavelength of light that can be shined on the cathode to produce a current through the anode? A. 1.2 x 10-11 m B. 8.0 x 10-11 m C. 9.8 x 10-11 m D. 6.2 x 10-10 m E. 1.2 x 10-9 m
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
