a) X-rays with a wavelength of 0.0045 nm are used in a Compton scattering experiment. If the
x-rays are Compton scattered through an angle of 160°, what is the wavelength of the
scattered photon?
(b) A photon with an energy of 10.0 keV is Compton scattered by a free electron, which recoils
with a kinetic energy of 0.200 keV.
(i) What is the wavelength of the scattered photon?
(ii) At what angle is the photon scattered?
(think about how many significant figures are appropriate in answering both of these questions)
