f a photon of wavelength 0.0665 nm hits a free electron and is scattered at an angle of 35◦ from its original direction, find at. the change in wavelength of this photon, b. the wavelength of the scattere
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.
If a photon of wavelength 0.0665 nm hits a free electron and is scattered at an angle of 35◦ from its original direction, find
at. the change in wavelength of this photon,
b. the wavelength of the scattered photon,
vs. the change in energy of the photon (is it a loss or a gain?), and d. the energy gained by the electron.
