A photon with energy h omega = 1.00 MeV is scattered by a stationary free electron. Find the kinetic enegry of a compton electron if the photon's wavelength changed by eta = 25% due to scattering. |

Answer» Solution :The wave LENGTHS of the PHOTON has INCREASED by a fraction `eta` so its final wavelength is `lambda_(F) = (2+eta) lambda_(i)` and its enegry is `(cancelh omega)/(1+eta)` The `K.E.` of the compton ELECTRON is the enrgy lost by the photon and is `T = cancelh omega (1-(1)/(1+eta)) = cancelh omega (eta)/(1+eta)` |
