Question: Question 2 1 ( 1 point ) In a Compton scattering experiment the incoming X ray of 3 . 4 MeV is scattered off weakly

Question 21(1 point)
In a Compton scattering experiment the incoming X ray of 3.4MeV is scattered off weakly bound electron in the thin carbon target at the angle of 60o. The recoiling electron hits the metal mesh behind the target causing a secondary X ray to be emitted.
A) Find the wavelength of the X-ray scattered of the electron.
B) What is the maximum energy of the secondary X ray? Enter this answer into the box below.
State your answer in MeV to the nearest 0.01 MeV.
Take mass of the electron to be me =9.11*10-31 kg=0.511MeV/c2
