A photon moving in the +x-direction, scatters off a free stationary electron. The wavelength of the incident photon is 0.0330 nm. After the collision, the electron moves at an angle α below the +x-axis, while the photon moves at an angle θ = 73.3° 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)?

° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

(b)

Determine the speed of the electron (in m/s).

Consider a photon that scatters off an electron. In the case of an electron which is not at rest, but rather which has a kinetic energy, E_e much larger than the photon energy. Find an expression for the photon energy after the interaction. To do this most simply, make a frame transformation to a frame where the electron is at rest, calculate the scattering , and then transform back to the original reference frame. For this problem, you may wish...
