Question

What is the maximum amount by which the wavelength of anincident photon could change when it undergoes Compton scatteringfrom an ozone molecule (O3)?
I used (change inwavelength)=(3h)/((4.65x10^-26)(c))     and got1.125x10^-16 Please tell me what is wrong with this equation. Thanks. What is the maximum amount by which the wavelength of anincident photon could change when it undergoes Compton scatteringfrom an ozone molecule (O3)?

Explanation / Answer

Change in wavelength If = 180 o then change in wavelength ismaximum So, maximum change in wavelength ' - = 2h / [ mc] where h = planck's constant = 6.625 * 10 ^ -34 J s            m= mass of electron = 9.11 * 10 ^ -31 kg            c= speed of light = 3 * 10 ^ 8 m / s substitue values we get ' - = 4.86 * 10 ^-12 m If = 180 o then change in wavelength ismaximum So, maximum change in wavelength ' - = 2h / [ mc] where h = planck's constant = 6.625 * 10 ^ -34 J s            m= mass of electron = 9.11 * 10 ^ -31 kg            c= speed of light = 3 * 10 ^ 8 m / s substitue values we get ' - = 4.86 * 10 ^-12 m
