Question:

The energy of a light quantum (or photon) is expressed by E = hv, where h is Planck€™s constant and v is the frequency of the photon. The momentum of the photon is hv/c. Show that if the photon scatters from a free electron (of mass mc), the scattered photon has an energy E = E [1+ E/mec2 (1 €“ cos θ)]€“1 where θ is the angle through which the photon scatters. Show also that the electron acquires a kinetic energy
