Question: A photon collides with a stationary electron. If the photon scatters at an angle ? (see Figure), show that the resulting wavelength, ???, is given

A photon collides with a stationary electron. If the photon scatters at an angle ? (see Figure), show that the resulting wavelength, ???, is given in terms of the original wavelength, ? byX = A+(1- cos 0), (11.81)where m is the mass of the electron. Note: The energy of a photon is E = hv = hc/?.

X = A+(1- cos 0), (11.81)
