(a)

To determine

The speed of the electron if all its kinetic energy is lost to a single x-ray photon at the high end of the x-ray electromagnetic spectrum.

(b)

To determine

The speed of the electron if all its kinetic energy is lost to a single x-ray photon at the low end of the x-ray electromagnetic spectrum.
