Question

In the Compton effect, a photon of wavelength andfrequency f hits an electron that is initially atrest. Which one of the following occurs as a result of thecollision?
a. Photon is absorbed completely. c. Photon gains energy, so the final photo has a freqeuncygreater than f. c. Photo fains energy, so the final photon has a wavelengthgreater than ~. d. Photo loses energy, so the final phtoo has a freqeuncy lessthan f. e. Photon loses energy, so the final photon has a wavelengthless than ~.
I know that (d) is the correct answer. Can anyone explain tome why?

Explanation / Answer

energy of the photon E = h f where h = planck's constant            f= frequency from above E f i.e., energy is directly proportional to frequency ofphoton. here energy loses,So, frequency is decreases .
