Question

A beam of X rays is scattered by free electrons. At 45 deg from the beam diretion the scattered X rays have a wavelength of 0.022 A. What is the wavelength of the X rays in the direct beam?​

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the wavelength of the scattered X-ray, first we must find the Compton shift for the given scattering angle, θ=30°. We use Equation 6.4. 18. Then we add this shift to the incident wavelength to obtain the scattered wavelength.
