Question

3. Compton Scattering An incoming high-energy Xray exits a Compton scattering event with a longer wavelength, after ejecting an electron from a metal foil: (a) Explain in detail, including all of the relevant equations and conservation principles, why the outgoing Xray will have a longer wavelength in this case. (b) --- If the ejected electron is travelling at a speed given by $\beta$ = 0.1250, what is its kinetic energy? Are special relativistic formulas required to calculate this kinetic energy? Explain why or why not, and then solve for the electron's kinetic energy in the appropriate manner. [ rest mass of electron = $m_0$ = 9.109 x $10^{-31}$ kg] (c) --- If the incoming Xray has a wavelength of 0.2327 nm, what is the outgoing Xray's frequency? (d) --- If the electron was ejected at an angle of 9.678° above the straight-through position, at what angle would the outgoing Xray have to travel? Explicitly state any conservation principles you may need to use. Include a well-labelled physics-relevant diagram to help support your calculations.
