A certain photon, after being scattered from a free electron that was at rest, moves at an angle of 120° with respect to the incident direction. If the wavelength of the incident photon is 0.6110 nm, what is the kinetic energy of the recoiling electron?

An X-ray photon scatters from a free electron at rest at an angle of $115^{\circ}$ relative to the incident direction. (a) If the scattered photon has a wavelength of $0.320 \mathrm{nm},$ what is the wavelength of the incident photon? (b) Determine the energy of the incident and scattered photons. ( c) Find the kinetic energy of the recoil electron.
