A photon of energy 50 MeV moves along the x-axis and Compton scatters with an electron initially at rest. After the collision the resulting photon is observed traveling along the y-axis and the electron has recoiled.

Using energy and momentum conservation with the appropriate relativistic relation between energy and momentum, compute the energy-momentum four vectors for the electron and photon in the final state.
