In a Compton scattering experiment, an x-ray photon scatters through an angle of 17.0° from a free electron that is initially at rest. The electron recoils with a speed of 1,240 km/s.
(a) Calculate the wavelength of the incident photon.
nm
(b) Calculate the angle through which the electron scatters.
The Compton Effect is a fundamental phenomenon in physics that describes the change in wavelength of electromagnetic radiation (such as light) when it interacts with charged particles, such as electrons. When photons (particles of light) collide with electrons, some of their energy is transferred to the electrons, resulting in a change in the direction and wavelength of the scattered photons.
Statement: Knowing that Planck's constant is h = 6.6x10^-34 m2 kg/s, the mass of the electron is 9.11x10^-31 kg, and the speed of light is 3.0x10^8 m/ s; Calculate for an x-ray photon, with a wavelength equal to 5.0 nm (5.0x10^-9 m), which undergoes a scattering of 30º, what would be its new wavelength.
Question options:
a) 5.00502nm
b) 5.11111nm
c) 4.032nm
d) 4.90000nm
e) 5.00032nm
