Part II An x-ray photon of wavelength 0.0177nm produced by this tube leaves the tube and collides elastically with an electron at rest. As a result, the electron recoils and the x-ray is scattered, as shown above. The wavelength of the scattered x-ray photon is .0183 nm. Relativistic effects may be neglected for the electron. (c) How much energy did the photon impart to the electron? (d) How much total momentum did this photon lose? (e) Based on the principle of Compton Scattering derived in class, what is the expected angle at which the photon scatters? Incident Photon
