A 0.0011 nm photon scatters from a free electron. For what (photon) scattering angle will the recoiling electron and scattered photon have the same kinetic energy? The speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s and Planck’s constant is 6.626 × 10?34 J · s. Answer in units of ? .
please help
1.
The wavelengh shift ?? = 0.00131nm
From compton effect
the wave length shift
?? = (0.00243nm) [ 1 -cos?]
0.00131 nm = 0.00243nm [ 1-cos?]
then
1 -cos? = 0.00131/0.00243 =
cos? = 0.4609
therefore the scattering angle
? = 62.55 deg
