In The Compton effect, a photon of wavelength 1 and frequency f hits an electron

Question

In The Compton effect, a photon of wavelength 1 and frequency f hits an electron that is initially at rest. Which one of the following occurs as a result of the collision? The photon is absorbed completely. The photon gains energy, so the final photon has a frequency greater than f. The photon gains energy, so the final photon has a wavelength greater than 1. The photon loses energy, so the final photon has a frequency less than f. The photon loses energy, so the final photon has a wavelength less than 1.

Explanation / Answer

option D is correct because in photo-electric effect photon hit the eletron and losses energy.
