As the angle of deflection is increased from 0^$\circ$to 180^$\circ$,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the angle of deflection is increased from 0° to 180°, the energy imparted to the recoil electron increases. This is because at larger deflection angles, a greater portion of the energy of the incident photon is transferred to the recoil electron, resulting in a greater energy transfer. Therefore, the correct choice is option D. Option A is incorrect because not all of the energy is imparted to the incident photon as some of it is transferred to the recoil electron. Option B is incorrect because as the angle of deflection increases, the energy imparted to the recoil electron also increases. Option C is incorrect because the energy of the scattered photon decreases as the angle of deflection increases.
