Question

A Compton scattering experiment is performed using an aluminum target. The incident photons have wavelength ?. The scattered photons have wavelengths ?' and energies E that depend on the scattering angle ?.

A Compton scattering experiment is performed using an aluminum target. The incident photons have wavelength ?. The scattered photons have wavelengths ?' and energies E that depend on the scattering angle ?. (a) At what angle ? are scattered photons with the smallest energy detected? (b) At this same scattering angle ?, what is the ratio ?'/? for ? = 8.6 pm? A) 180 DEGREE .... Please help

Explanation / Answer

a) since delta ? = h*(1-cos(?)) / mc ,
and E= hc/ ?,
the greater the change in ?, the lower the energy of the scattered photon, thus,
at 180
