A 2x10-12 m wavelength photon strikes a stationary electron and Compton scatters at and angle of 60 degrees. After a Compton scatter event an electron moves at 2% the speed of light (you can ignore relativistic effects). c) The momentum of this electron is _________ kg m/s. d) The de Broglie wavelength of this electron is _________ m. e) Diffraction patters consistent with the de Broglie wavelengths of electrons is an example of ___________ of electrons.
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
