Question
1) What happens when the x-ray photon scatters from the electron?
-Speed increases, decreases, or stays the same.
2) What happens when the electron is struck by the x-ray photon?
-Its de Broglie wavelength increases, decreases, or stays the same.
3) X-ray diffraction can also change the direction of a beam of x-rays. Which statement offers the best comparison between Compton scattering and x-ray diffraction?
Explanation / Answer
The second one increase because the frequency of the X-ray photon decreases. Whereas for part C the Electron de Broglie wavelength decreses as it's struck by scattering X-ray. Thus this allows the electron to gain momentum and increase it's frequency while decreasing it's wavelength.
