Compton Scattering.A photon of wavelength λcollides elastically with a free electron (initially at rest) of mass m. If the photon scatters at an angle φfrom its original direction of travel, use conservation of relativistic linear momentum and conservation of relativistic energy to derive a mathematical expression for the scattered photon’s wavelength λ’.
