Question

In Compton scattering, the incident photons have a wavelength 0.3 nm. Calculate the wavelength​

Answer 1

Answer:

Compton formula

Δλ=λf−λi=mech(1−cosθ)

2.54×10−11−λ1=9.1×10−31×3×1086.63×10−34(1−cos60∘)

λi=2.54×10−11−9.1×10−31×3×1086.63×10−34(1−1/2)    (∵cos60∘=1/2)

=2.54×10−11−0.12×10−11

=2.42×10−11m
