Questions on Compton Effect

1. What is the maximum change in wavelength that a 0.010 nm X-ray photon can undergo by Compton
scattering with an electron? Does initial wavelength (0.010 nm) matter in this example?

2. What is the momentum of an X ray of wavelength 10 nm?

3. If a 10 nm X ray scattered by an electron becomes an 11 nm X ray, how much energy does the
electron gain?
4. An X-ray photon of wavelength 0.0500 nm scatters at an angle of 30°. Calculate the wavelength of the
scattered photon.

5. An X ray of wavelength 0.010 nm scatters at 90° from an electron. What is the wavelength of the
scattered photon?
