Question c please
3. Suppose three different X-ray photons each with incident energy of 2.0 MeV are Compton scattered. Photon 1 is slightly deflected, just 1 degree from its original direction. Photon 2 is scattered in a direction 60 degrees away from the original direction and Photon 3 is scattered backwards in the opposite direction to its original path.
(a) Calculate the change of wavelength for each case. Show your working.
(b) Suppose instead, the original photon energies were 0.50 MeV. What effect does this have on the values calculated above? Explain very briefly.
(c) Some of the radiation scattered at large angles has photons at same energy as the incident photons. Explain the origin of this radiation.
