Question 1
In a Compton scattering experiment, what scattering angle produces the greatest change in wavelength?
   
    180°
   

Question 2
Who first suggested that the energy of any molecular vibration can be change only in discrete bundles?
    Planck
   
Question 3
What is a photon?
   
    a small bundle of electromagnetic energy that has particle-like properties
   
Question 4
Who explained the photoelectric effect?
   
    Einstein
 
Question 5
In the Compton effect, as the scattering angle increases, the wavelength of
the X-rays scattered at that angle
   
    increases.
