Question

A 700 keV photon interacts with an electron that is at rest. After the interaction the electron and photon separate as shown in the diagram below. (The direction of the photon velocity after the collision is perpendicular to the direction before) (a) Use the Compton scattering formula to determine the energy of the photon after the collision. (b) Determine the kinetic energy and velocity of the electron after the collision. (c) Calculate the angle of the electron's velocity after the collision. (d) Show that momentum is conserved in the reaction. lambda = lambda_o + hc/mc^2 (1 - cos theta)
