Why is it that sometimes when a very high energy electron hits a target material a positron and two or more electrons come out of the event?
An electron at high energy entering into a scattering event will bring all that energy with it. All that energy will have to be "dealt with" in the outcome. One way that a big chunk of it can be "handled" is almost magical. A large portion of the energy can be transformed into an electron-positron pair. This event is called pair production. We usually see it when a high energy gamma ray causes it, but it can be one of the outcomes in an energetic electron collision. The production of this pair of particles is the direct result of the conversion of energy into matter, and it will carry off a lot of the energy in the event. The minimum energy need to create the pair is 1.022 MeV. The original electron is still "in one piece" after the event, so it may look like the single electron crashed into a target and two electrons and a positron came away. It was actually the original electron and that electron-positron pair. If the original electron ionized another electron (or more) in the target material (which is possible), they will come away as well. Certainly there are a number of possible outcomes in an energetic electron scattering event, but pair production is one of the possible outcomes, depending on the energies involved and the target material.
What does the electron gun do in a crt monitor?
electron gun just fires electrons with certain energy so that when the electrons strikes on the pixels of the screen then they glow up with certain color... this color is defined according to the energy of electron..i.e electrons with high energy will lit up blue &with low energy lit up red color. energy=frequency*plank's constant(n)...
What is the incoming energy source for electron transport chain?
The electron transport chain is the driving energy behind ATP synthesis. The energy itself comes from electron donors. In chloroplast, this donor's glucose.
Do Solar Cells run out of electrons?
It won't run off. The Photo Voltaic create electron motion and the energy is tapped from the electron motion. The electron itself is not consume as energy but is the media energy would store. Picture hydropower, water evaporate to cloud and fall on high ground and the motion of water stream was tapped out to hydropower. Water is not depleted in the process because it is the kinetic and potential energy that water gain from sun in process of evaporation that is use.
What happens to the energy of the electron as it falls down the electron transport chain?
pie
Why do high-energy electrons need carrier molecules?
The energy in light raises some of the electrons in chlorophyll to higher energy levels. These high-energy electrons are used in photosynthesis. Electron carriers are used to transport the electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules during photosynthesis.
What happens when an electron moves from a low energy state to a high energy state?
when an electron moves from low energy state to high energy state , it gains energy.
Does chlorine have a high electron affinity or a low ionization energy?
It has High electron affinity.
What electron move high energy between photosystems?
Electron Carriers.
How does electron transport chain use the high energy electron from the Krebs cycle?
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP.
Do photon have a greater energy than electron?
No. A photon has no rest mass an electron has mass.
