When a photon has an energy of E and a wavelength of l prior to scattering from a free electron, determine the photon's a) initial wavelength and b) initial energy. The wavelength has risen by 10% after scattering at a 135 degree angle.
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.
