A particle of mass m collides elastically with an identical particle at rest. Classically, the outgoing trajectories

Question:

A particle of mass m collides elastically with an identical particle at rest. Classically, the outgoing trajectories always make an angle of 90o. Calculate this angle relativistically, in terms of Ф, the scattering angle, and v, the speed, in the center-of-momentum frame.
