Question

In a Compton effect experiment, the scattering angle of 90 degrees is chosen. There are three sources of photons as listed below: 

No Sources wavelength (m)
1 Gamma ray 1.0 x 10-12
2 X-ray 0.5 x 10-9
3 Green light from mercury lamp

500 x 10-9

i) Determine the fractional of wavelength shift of the three sources.

ii) In order for a Compton effect experiment to be successful, a group of scientists aim to obtain the percentage of fractional change within 0 to 1 percent. Choose which source of photon mentioned above is appropriate to conduct this experiment and justify your answer.
