Question

X-rays with an energy of 0.6 MeV undergo Compton scattering from a target. If the scattered x-rays are detected at 40 degrees relative to the incident rays, a. What are the x-rays and off what are they scattering? b. What is the wavelength of the incoming x-rays? c. How was the Compton scattering formula you will use for part (d) derived? d. What is the wavelength of the scattered x-rays?

X-rays of wavelength 0.24 nm are Compton-scattered, and the scattered beam is observed at an angle of 60° relative to the incident beam. Find (a) the wavelength of the scattered X-rays, (b) the energy of the scattered X-ray photons, (c) the kinetic energy of the scattered electrons, and (d) the direction of travel of the scattered electrons.

00:01 So from the compton shift equation, let me write it down.
00:05 From compton shift equation, let me write down the formula.
00:17 Lambda dash minus lambda equals h by mec into 1 minus cost theta.
00:26 So rearranging this equation, del lambda equals h by mec.
00:35 Into 1 minus cos theta so we know the values now we are going to substitute this equals 6 .63 into 10 to the power minus 34 whole divided by 9 .11 into 10 to the power minus 31 into 3 into 10 to the power 8 into 1 minus cos 40 so while solving this we get the answer for del lambda as 5 0 .68 into 10 to the power minus 13 meter.
01:10 So the wavelength of the incoming photon.
01:24 So we know the formula lambda 0 equals hc by e0...
