You are given a small bar of an unknown metal. You find the density of the metal to be 18.6 g/cm3. An x-yar diffraction experiment measures the edge of the face-centered cubic unit cell as 4.13 x 10-10m. Find the atomic weight (in g/mol) of this metal and assess its identity.
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.
