The wavelength of a scattered photon can be determined by measuring the angle of scattering and using the Compton scattering formula, which takes into account the initial and final energies of the photon.
The Compton scattering formula is λ' - λ = h/mc(1-cosθ), where λ' is the wavelength of the scattered photon, λ is the wavelength of the incident photon, h is Planck's constant, m is the mass of the electron, c is the speed of light, and θ is the angle of scattering.
The wavelength of a scattered photon is inversely proportional to its energy. This means that as the wavelength decreases, the energy of the photon increases.
The wavelength of a scattered photon can be affected by the energy of the incident photon, the angle of scattering, and the mass of the scattering particle.
Yes, the wavelength of a scattered photon can be measured experimentally by using specialized equipment such as X-ray diffraction or Compton scattering detectors.
