A beam of x-ray is diffracted by a crystal. If the glancing angle is 8 for second order and the separation between two atomic planes is 2.25 x 10^-10 m, calculate the wavelength of the incident X-ray.
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.
