A 20 MeV photon passes through Compton scattering and exits at an angle of 60°, what is the energy of the photon when exiting? What is the kinetic energy of the scattered electron?
The wavelength of the X-ray photons is 0.02480 nm, the photons collide with a target and experience the scattering of the observed compton at 90 degrees.
d. the direction of the scattered electrons
Problem 4: a. For Compton scattering, what photon scattering angle provides the maximum
possible kinetic energy to the electron? (Please explain your answer. Hint: What angle 6 makes
the wavelength difference as large as possible?)
b. In this case where the electron gains the maximum kinetic energy, if the wavelength of the
incident photon was 0.004960 nm, what kinetic energy did the electron gain?
