1. X-rays with a wavelength of 2, =8.55pm are used in a Compton scattering experiment (i.e. the photons are scattered by essentially free electrons). a. What is the energy, E,, of the incident photons in eV? b. When the Compton scattered X-ray scatters to an angle (measured from the direction of the incident X-ray) of 0 =115.0°, what is the wavelength of the Compton scattered X-ray? c. When the Compton scattered X-ray scatters to an angle (measured from the direction of the incident X-ray) of 0 =115.0°, what is the change in energy for the X-ray photon in eV? d. When the Compton scattered X-ray scatters to an angle (measured from the direction of the incident X-ray) of 0 =115.0°, what is the change in kinetic energy for the scattered electron in eV?
