A photon, moving in the +x-direction, scatters off a free stationary electron. The wavelength of the incident photon is 0.0210 nm. After the collision, the electron moves at an angle α below the +x-axis, while the photon moves at an angle θ = 80.3° above the +x-axis. (a) Calculate the speed of the electron (in m/s). (b) Calculate the angle α (in degrees).
