Show that the maximum kinetic energy of the recoil electron in Compton scattering is given by 2hf mc² K. E.max (electron) = hf · 2hf 1+ mc² At what angles and does this occur? If we detect a scattered electron at angle = 0° of 100 keV, what energy photon was scattered?
(a) Find the momentum of a 100-keV x-ray photon. (b) Find the equivalent velocity of a neutron with the same momentum. (c) What is the neutron’s kinetic energy in keV?
X-rays having an energy of 0.4 MeV undergo Compton scattering from a target asshown below. The scattered x-rays are detected at an angle of 40° relative to theincident x-rays. Find:i. the Compton shift at this angle, ii. the energy of the scattered x-rays, and iii. the kinetic energy and momentum of the scattered electron.
