Question: A sample is bombarded by incident x - rays, and free electrons in the sample scatter some of the x - rays at an angle

A sample is bombarded by incident x-rays, and free electrons in the sample scatter some of the x-rays at an angle of =121.0 with respect to the incident x-rays, as shown in the drawing. The scattered x-rays have a momentum whose magnitude is 1.94610-24kg*ms. Determine the wavelength (in nm ) of the incident X-rays. (For accuracy, use h=6.62610-34J*s,c=2.998108ms, and m=9.10910-31kg for the mass of an electron.)
