A photon moving in the +x-direction, scatters off a free stationary electron. The wavelength of the incident photon is 0.0230 nm. After the collision, the electron moves at an angle α below the +x-axis, while the photon moves at an angle θ = 78.3° above the +x-axis. (For the purpose of this exercise, assume that the electron is traveling slow enough that the non-relativistic relationship between momentum and velocity can be used.) (a) What is the angle α (in degrees)?...
