An electron emitts a photon and the core is pushed (recoiled) back!

mercredi 31 juillet 2013

I have come across a problem which is a homework indeed, but i tried to pack this question up so that it is more theoretical.



What i want to know is if i am alowed to write energy conservation for an atom which emitts a photon (when his electron changes energy for a value ##\Delta E##) like this (The atom is kicked back when it emmits an photon):



\begin{align}

E_1 &= E_2\\

E_{ \text{H atom 1}} &= E_{ \text{H atom 2} } + E_\gamma\\

\sqrt{ \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\smash{\underbrace{(E_0 + \Delta E)^2}_{\substack{\text{I am not sure about}\\\text{this part where normaly}\\\text{we write only ${E_0}^2$. Should I}\\\text{put $\Delta E$ somewhere else?}}}}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\! + {p_1}^2c^2} &= \sqrt{ {E_0}^2 + {p_2}^2c^2 } + E_\gamma \longleftarrow \substack{\text{momentum $p_1=0$ and because of}\\\text{the momentum conservation}\\\text{$p_2 = p_\gamma = E_\gamma/c$}}\\

\phantom{1}\\

\phantom{1}\\

\phantom{1}\\

\sqrt{{(E_0 + \Delta E)}^2} &= \sqrt{{E_0}^2 + {E_\gamma}^2} + E_\gamma

\end{align}
