Contact electricity and photoelectric effect
Most universities provide an experiment about the photoelectric effect to determine $h$ by measuring the stop voltage against the light frequency and calculating the slope $h/e$.
But mostly they also ...

An electron is subjected to an electromagnetic field using the canonical equations solve
So I was given the following vector field:
$\vec{A}(t)=\{A_{0x}cos(\omega t + \phi_x), A_{0y}cos(\omega t + \phi_y), A_{0z}cos(\omega t + \phi_z)\}$
Where the amplitudes $A_{0i}$ and phase shifts ...

Cross section of photoelectric absorption vs Thomson scattering cross section
I am interested in more less the same issue as asked here but my question is:
Why for the low X-rays the photoelectric absorption is dominant over Thomson/Compton scattering? I am considering the ...
