Compton scattering: In a particular case of Compton scattering, a photon collides with a free electron and scatters backwards. The wavelength after the collision is exactly double the wavelength before the collision. What is the wavelength of the incident photon? (m_el = 9.11 × 10^-31 kg, h = 6.626 × 10^-34 J ∙ s, c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s) A) 3.6 pm B) 4.8 pm C) 2.4 pm D) 1.2 pm E) 6.0 pm
