Calculate the percentage change in photon energy during a collision like that in Fig

Chapter 38, Problem 33

(choose chapter or problem)

Calculate the percentage change in photon energy during a collision like that in Fig. 38-5 for f 90 and for radiation in (a) the microwave range, with l 3.0 cm; (b) the visible range, with l 500 nm; (c) the x-ray range, with l 25 pm; and (d) the gamma-ray range, with a gamma photon energy of 1.0 MeV. (e) What are your conclusions about the feasibility of detecting the Compton shift in these various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, judging solely by the criterion of energy loss in a single photonelectron encounter?
