An X-ray photon moving along the x-direction is scattered by a stationary electron. The initial frequency of the photon is fi = 8 x 105 Hz and the final frequency is fr = 7.75 x 1018 Hz. Find the direction of the photon's momentum after it has been scattered. In other words finesthe angle 0 that the outgoing photon makes with respect to the x-axis. Give your answer in degrees to 3 significant figures. Sketch a diagram showing the directions of the initial and final momenta.
