    approximately the mass of a proton, 1 GeV
  15. What is typical spacing between a nucleus and an election?
    1 Angstrom
  16. What is the relationship between energy, mass and momentum?
    E2 - (cp)2 = (mrc2)2
  17. What is beta2 in terms of gamma?
    1 - 1/γ2
  18. What is the energy of a photon?
    E = cp = hυ = hc/λ
  19. What is the power radiated by a moving charged particle? (Thanks Maxwell)
    P = (2/3) (e2/c2) (a2)
  20. What is the value of h, planks constant in terms of "hc"
    1240 eV Nm
  21. What is the energy in eV at a given wavelength λ of light?
    E = hυ = hf = hc(f/c) = hc(1/λ)

    I = hυ * number of photons per time per area
  23. How do you count the number of photons?
    Intensity times area times time divided by hυ
  24. What is the photoelectric effect?
    Shining uv light on one parallel plate causes current. Increase voltage to other side of plate and determine the stoping voltage.
