A photon undergoes Compton scattering off a stationary free electron. The photon scatters at 50° from its initial direction; its initial wavelength is 1.0 x 1012 m. What is the electron's final kinetic energy?

Concept explainers
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.
