Photons of wavelength 0.00150 nm undergo Compton collisions with free electrons. What is the energy of the scattered photons whose angle of scattering is 45º? A) 13.3 × 10^-14 J B) 9.00 × 10^-14 J C) 28.0 × 10^-14 J D) 18.0 × 10^-14 J E) 2.14 × 10^-14 J

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy of the scattered photon can be calculated using the Compton wavelength shift formula and the energy-wavelength relation. After calculating the wavelength shift and the new wavelength, the energy is found to be approximately 9.00 × 10^-14 J.
