You are working in an x-ray laboratory. You have a source of x-rays with a wavelength of 0.115 nm. In the experiment you are performing, you need x-rays with a slightly longer wavelength than this. You decide to use Compton scattering from electrons to increase the wavelength of the x-rays. For theexperiment, you need to determine (a) at what angle x-rays with a wavelength 1.2% larger than those from your source will be scattered. (b) You also need to determine the longest possible wavelength you can achieve with Compton scattering.
X rays of wavelength 0.0100 nm are directed in the positive direction of an x axis onto a target containing loosely bound electrons. For Compton scattering from one of those electrons, at an angle of 180°, what are (a) the Compton shift, (b) the corresponding change in photon energy, (c) the kinetic energy of the recoiling electron, and (d) the angle between the positive direction of the x axis and the electron’s direction of motion?
X-rays with a wavelength of 0.0045 nm are used in a Compton scattering experiment. If the Xrays are scattered through an angle of 45o, what is the wavelength of the scattered radiation?
