In the scattering of x - rays from a crystal of NaCl, it is assumed that the scattered x - rays undergo no change in wavelength. Show that this is a reasonable assumption by calculating the order of magnitude of the Compton wavelength for a sodium atom and a chlorine atom and comparing it with a typical x - ray wavelength of 0.10 nm.

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.
