A 635keV gamma ray is incident on an electron at rest. If the scattered photon has a scattering angle of 110deg with respect to the direction of the incident photon, determine the
following.
(a) Energy (in keV) of the scattered photon
keV
(b) Kinetic energy (in keV ) of the scattered electron
keV
(c) Recoil angle (in degrees) of the scattered electron
Is momentum conserved during this process? How can you determine the momentum of the scattered photon and electron?o
