NOTE: This is not Compton scattering! An electron is accelerated from rest through a 6.04 V difference in potential, and then shot outward in the positive x-direction. It then collides head-on with a photon of frequency 540x1015 Hz moving in the negative x-direction. After the collision, the photon bounces backward (in the positive x-direction) with frequency 56.7x1015 Hz. Find the velocity of the electron, in m/s, after the collision. The sign of your answer will give the direction.
