(choose chapter or problem)

In a Compton scattering event, the scattered photon has an energy of 120.0 keV and the recoiling electron has a kinetic energy of 40.0 keV. Find (a) the wavelength of the incident photon, (b) the angle at which the photon is scattered, and (c) the recoil angle of the electron. [Hint: Conserve both massenergy and relativistic momentum.]
