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.
Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of
(a) a 50.0 kg woman jogging leisurely at 2.0 m/s,
(b) a free electron with kinetic energy 2.0 MeV, and
(c) a free electron with kinetic energy 20 eV.
Use the proper relativistic expression when necessary.
