Question

In a Compton scattering experiment, a beam of x-rays of wavelength 0.07 nm scatters of nearly fee electrons. The scattered radiation is investigated as a function of the angle theta between it and the primary beam. The scattered radiation contains

no wavelength other than that of the primary beam.

a component shifted in wavelength by an amount that decreases as the scattering angle increases.

a component shifted in wavelength by an amount that is independent of the wavelength of the primary beam.

a component shifted in wavelength by an amount that is independent of the scattering angle.

two components with wavelength shifted up and down by an equal amount.

a.

no wavelength other than that of the primary beam.

b.

a component shifted in wavelength by an amount that decreases as the scattering angle increases.

c.

a component shifted in wavelength by an amount that is independent of the wavelength of the primary beam.

d.

a component shifted in wavelength by an amount that is independent of the scattering angle.

e.

two components with wavelength shifted up and down by an equal amount.

Explanation / Answer

Answer is C.

a component shifted in wavelength by an amount that is independent of the wavelength of the primary beam.

a component shifted in wavelength by an amount that is independent of the wavelength of the primary beam.
