Question:

Consider two different photons that scatter through an angle of 180° from a free electron. One is a visible-light photon with ( = 520 nm, the other is an X-ray photon with ( = 0.030 nm.

(a) Which (if either) photon experiences the greater change in wavelength as a result of the scattering? Explain.

(b) Which photon experiences the greater percentage change in wavelength? Explain.

(c) Calculate the percentage change in wavelength of each photon?
