5. The maximum energy loss for the photon occurs in a head-on collision, with the photon scattered backwards. Let the incident
photon energy be

hv , and the backward-scattered photon energy be

hv' . Let the energy of the recoiling proton be E. Then
its recoil momentum is obtained from

E = p
2
c
2
+m
2
c

. The energy conservation equation reads



hv + mc
2
= hv'+E

and the momentum conservation equation reads



hv
c
=
hv'
c
+ p
that is


hv = hv'+pc

We get

E + pc mc
2
= 2hv from which it follows that



p

so that



pc =

+ 4hvmc

4hv + 2mc

The energy loss for the photon is the kinetic energy of the proton

K = E mc
2
. Now

hv = 100 MeV and

mc
2
= 938 MeV, so that



pc =182MeV
and



E mc
2
= K=17.6MeV

6. Let

hv be the incident photon energy,

hv' the final photon energy and p the outgoing electron momentum. Energy
conservation reads



hv + mc

= hv'+ p

c

+ m

We write the equation for momentum conservation, assuming that the initial photon moves in the x direction and the final
photon in the y-direction. When multiplied by c it read



i(hv) = j(hv' ) + (ip
x
c + jp
y
c)

Hence

p

c = hv; p

c = hv'. We use this to rewrite the energy conservation equation as follows:




(hv + mc

(p

From this we get

We may use this to calculate the kinetic energy of the electron

Also



pc = i(100keV) + j(83.6keV)

which gives the direction of the recoiling electron.

Here

q

= 1, with the upper sign corresponding to the photon and the electron moving in the same/opposite direction, and
similarly for

. When this is multiplied by c

we get

2
+ 2(hv) pcq
i

2

The square of the energy conservation equation, with E expressed in terms of momentum and mass reads

+ 2Ehv = (hv' )
2

After we cancel the mass terms and subtracting, we get



hv(E q

From this can calculate

hv' and rewrite the energy conservation law in the form



E E' = hv

The energy loss is largest if

q
i
= 1;q
f
= 1. Assuming that the final electron momentum is not very close to zero, we can
write

E + pc = 2E and E' p' c =
(mc

2
2E'
so that


E E' = hv

It follows that

E'
=

E
+16hv with everything expressed in MeV. This leads to
E =(100/1.64)=61 MeV and the energy loss is 39MeV.

Therefore = = (3.50-1.23) x 10

The energy of the X-ray photon is therefore

(2.310

9. With the nucleus initially at rest, the recoil momentum of the nucleus must be equal and opposite to that of the emitted
photon. We therefore have its magnitude given by

p= hv / c, where

hv = 6.2 MeV . The recoil energy is

E =

10. The formula

/ sinu s 2a / 3. Since = h/p this leads to


p> 3h / 2asinu, which implies that the kinetic energy obeys

Thus the minimum energy for electrons is

For Helium atoms the mass is

4(1.6710

larger, so that



K =

= 4.510

11. We use

K =

2
(1.6 10

For = 0.5 nm, the wavelength is 30 times smaller, so that the energy is 900 times larger. Thus K =6.10 eV.

12. For a circular orbit of radius r, the circumference is 2r. If n wavelengths are to fit into the orbit, we must have 2r = n =
nh/p. We therefore get the condition



pr = nh / 2t = n

which is just the condition that the angular momentum in a circular orbit is an integer in units of

.

13. We have

a = n / 2sinu . For n = 1, = 0.5 x 10
-10
m and u= 5
o
. we get
a = 2.87 x 10
-10
m. For n = 2, we require sinu
2
= 2 sinu
1
. Since the angles are very small, u
2
= 2u
1
. So that the angle is
10
o
.

14. The relation F = ma leads to mv
2
/r = mer that is, v = er. The angular momentum quantization condition is mvr = n

,
which leads to mer

The frequency of radiation in the classical limit is just the frequency of rotation

v
cl
=e/ 2t which agrees with the
quantum frequency when n n = 1. When the selection rule An = 1 is satisfied, then the classical and quantum frequencies are
the same
for all n.

Note that V
0
drops out of the result. This makes sense if one looks at a
picture of the potential in the limit of large k. For r< a the potential is
effectively zero. For r > a it is effectively infinite, simulating a box with
infinite walls. The presence of V
0
is there to provide something with the
dimensions of an energy. In the limit of the infinite box with the quantum
condition there is no physical meaning to V
0
and the energy scale is
provided by

2

.

16. The condition L = n implies that


E =

In a transition from n

Classically the radiation frequency is the frequency of rotation which is
e = L/I , i.e.

We see that this is equal to

v

when An = 1.
17. The energy gap between low-lying levels of rotational spectra is of the order of

2
/ I = (1/ 2t)h / MR
2
, where M is the reduced mass of the two nuclei, and R is their separation. (Equivalently we
can take 2 x m(R/2)

). Thus
