(10 pts) In 1923, Compton demonstrated the particle nature of light through experiments. When Xrays with an energy E0 are incident on carbon T, electrons are scattered at an angle with the xaxis, and the scattered X -rays are measured at an angle .
(a)(5pt) Show that the kinetic energy of recoil the electron is
EkE0=E0mec2(1-cos)1+E0mec2(1-cos)
(b)(5 pts) Show that the recoil angle of the electron is
cot=(1+E0mec2)tan(2)
