When the x-ray photon scatters from the electron, A. Its wavelength increases. B. Its wavelength decreases. C. Its wavelength stays the same.

Problem 83PP Compton Scattering Further support for the photon model of electromagnetic waves comes from Compton scattering, in which x rays scatter from electrons, changing direction and frequency in the process. Classical electromagnetic wave theory cannot explain the change in frequency of the x rays on scattering, but the photon model can. Suppose an x-ray photon is moving to the right. It has a collision with a slow-moving electron, as in Figure P28.85. The photon transfers energy and momentum to the electron, which recoils at a high speed. The x-ray photon loses energy, and the photon energy formula E = hf tells us that its frequency must decrease. The collision looks very much like the collision between two particles. When the electron is struck by the x-ray photon, A. Its de Broglie wavelength increases. B. Its de Broglie wavelength decreases. C. Its de Broglie wavelength stays the same.

X-ray diffraction can also change the direction of a beam of x rays. Which statement offers the best comparison between Compton scattering and x-ray diffraction? A. X-ray diffraction changes the wavelength of x rays; Compton scattering does not. B. Compton scattering changes the speed of x rays; x-ray diffraction does not. C. X-ray diffraction relies on the particle nature of the x rays; Compton scattering relies on the wave nature. D. X-ray diffraction relies on the wave nature of the x rays; Compton scattering relies on the particle nature.
