    Compton Scattering Homework: Wavelength & Angle Calculation

    Ah...E would be the energy lost by the photon so it'd be negative... so the A term will be negative. Turns out that results nicely in 1nm, thanks!

    Compton Scattering Homework: Wavelength & Angle Calculation

    Homework Statement In a Compton scattering experiment, an x-ray photon scatters through an angle of 17.40 from a free electron that is initially at rest. The electron recoils with a speed of 2180 km/s. Calculate (a) the wavelength of the incident photon and (b) the angle through which the...
