1.
What happens to the wavelength and velocity of an X-ray photon after colliding with a free stationary electron in the Compton effect?
Both its wavelength and velocity decrease
Its wavelength decreases and velocity increases
Its wavelength remains constant
Its wavelength increases and its velocity remains constant (equal to c)
2.
The hydrostatic pressure exerted by a static homogeneous liquid of density rho at depth h beneath its free surface is expressed by:
P = rho * h / g
P = rho * g / h
P = rho * g * h
P = 1/2 rho * g * h2
3.
A diver descends to a depth of 30 meters in seawater (density = 1030 kg/m3. If atmospheric pressure is 1.013 x 105 Pa and g = 9.8 m/s2, the total absolute pressure experienced by the diver is approximately:
3.03 x 105 Pa
1.01 x 105 Pa
6.06 x 105 Pa
4.04 x 105 Pa (approx. 4.0 atmospheres)
4.
Pascal's principle states that when pressure is applied to an enclosed, incompressible fluid, it is transmitted:
Undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the containing vessel
With an exponential decay as distance increases
Strictly to compressible gases
Only downwards towards the bottom of the vessel
5.
In a hydraulic press, the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the large piston to that of the small piston is 50. If a force of 100 N is exerted on the small piston, the maximum force exerted by the large piston is:
5000 N
2500 N
2 N
50,000 N
