Question
Chapter 1.3, Problem 4A
Summary Introduction
Whether the luster of the mineral should be described as metallic or non metallic on the basis of its streak.
Introduction:
The streak produced by the mineral can be used in distinguishing the metallic luster from the nonmetallic luster. The minerals having metallic luster produce a dark and dense streak whereas the minerals possessing nonmetallic luster produce a streak of light color.

A photon moving in the +x-direction, scatters off a free stationary electron. The wavelength of the incident photon is 0.0310 nm. After the collision, the electron moves at an angle a below the +x-
axis, while the photon moves at an angle = 81.3° above the +x-axis. (For the purpose of this exercise, assume that the electron is traveling slow enough that the non-relativistic relationship
between momentum and velocity can be used.)

You and your team are tasked with characterizing an equilateral, triangular prism to be used in an optical spectrometer.
