In the Compton effect, a 0.160-nm photon strikes afree

Chapter 37, Problem 37.33

(choose chapter or problem)

In the Compton effect, a 0.160-nm photon strikes afree electron in a head-on collision and knocks it into theforward direction. The rebounding photon recoils directlybackward. Use conservation of (relativistic) energy andmomentum to determine (a) the kinetic energy of the electron,and (b) the wavelength of the recoiling photon. UseEq. 37-5, but not Eq. 37-6.
