Compute the wavelength of the incident photon

Reference no: EM13544930

In a Compton scattering experiment, an x-ray photon scatters through an angle of 17.4° from a free electron that is initially at rest. The electron recoils with a speed of 2150 km/s.

(a) Calculate the wavelength of the incident photon.

(b) Calculate the angle through which the electron scatters.
