1. (a) A 210-MeV photon collides with an electron at rest. What is the maximum energy loss of the photon?

(b) Repeat (a), but with a proton target rather than an electron. Is the difference between the results reasonable? Why? (Based upon BFG, Problem 4.12)

2. Find the de Broglie wavelength of (a) an electron with a kinetic energy of 1 eV (b) an electron with a kinetic energy of 1 keV (c) an electron with a kinetic energy of 1 MeV (d) a neutron with a kinetic energy of kT, where T = 300 K (e) a neutron with a kinetic energy of 10 MeV (Based upon BFG, Problem 4.28)
