(3) A spectrometer used in a measurement of the Compton effect has a spectral resolution of
Aλ/2 = 0.5%. Find the wavelength of the incident photons that would be required in order to
resolve
(a) Scattered photons at an angle of 38°
(b) Scattered photons at an angle of 90°
(c) Comparing parts (a) and (b), which measurement is easier, keeping in mind that it is
harder to make higher energy photons? What factor can you think of that might make the
measurement at 0= 90° harder than the measurement at 0= 38°?
