A photon scatters in the backward direction (f = 180°) from a free proton that is initially at rest. What must the wavelength of the incident photon be if it is to undergo a 10.0% change in wavelength as a result of the scattering?
A photon has a collision with a stationary electron (h/mc = 2.43 × 10–12 m) and loses 5.0% of its energy. The photon scattering angle is 180°. What is the wavelength of the incident photon in this scattering process?
X-rays are scattered from a target at an angle of 54.9° with respect to the direction of the incident beam. What is the wavelength shift (in m) of the scattered x-rays?  What If? For what scattering angle (in degrees) will the wavelength shift of x-rays be exactly double that found in part (a)?
