What Wavelength Is Expected from Scattered Gamma Rays at 60 Degrees?

AI Thread Summary
The expected wavelength of scattered gamma rays at 60 degrees cannot be determined without additional information. Specifically, the energy of the incident gamma rays is crucial for calculating the scattered wavelength. The scattering angle also influences the wavelength, making it essential to know the angle of incidence. Without these parameters, a precise calculation is not feasible. More data is required to provide an accurate answer.

Gamma Rays of wavelength 0.710 Angstrom are scattered in a thin foil of Aluminium. The scattered radiation is observed at an angle of 60 degree from the incident direction. What wavelength would u expect to see?


Thanks in advance

Based on the information given, it is not possible to determine the expected wavelength of the scattered gamma rays. This is because the wavelength of the scattered radiation depends on the energy of the incident gamma rays, which is not provided in the given information. Additionally, the angle of scattering also affects the wavelength of the scattered radiation, so without knowing the incident angle, it is not possible to accurately predict the expected wavelength. More information would be needed to make a precise calculation, such as the energy of the incident gamma rays and the angle of incidence.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
