A. h/mc
B. 2h/mc
C. h/(2mc)
D. Zero
Answer: Δλ = (h/mc)(1-cos90°) = (h/mc)(1-0) = h/mc = 2.43 × 10⁻¹² m (Compton wavelength).
A. Is fixed
B. Is continuous up to a maximum value
C. Depends on temperature
D. Is always zero
Answer: Beta particles have a continuous energy spectrum from 0 to a maximum value, because energy is shared with the antineutrino.
A. c/137
B. c
C. c/2
D. c/10
Answer: v = cα where α = e²/(4πε₀ℏc) ≈ 1/137 is the fine structure constant. So v ≈ c/137.
A. -3.4 eV
B. -6.8 eV
C. -1.51 eV
D. -27.2 eV
Answer: E₂ = E₁/2² = -13.6/4 = -3.4 eV. First excited state is n=2.
A. Less than primary
B. More than primary
C. Same as primary
D. Zero
Answer: In a step-down transformer, voltage decreases but current increases (conservation of power: VpIp = VsIs).
