Photons of wavelength 65.0 pm are Compton-scattered from a free electron which picks up a kinetic energy of 0.75 keV from the collision. What is the wavelength of the scattered photon?

0.6764*10^-10m

Explanation:

Using E= hc/wavelength

(4.14x10^-15)x(3.0x10^8)/(65x10^-12)=0.1911x10^5 eV=19.1 keV

So subtract the calculated energy from the given energy of scattered photons

9.11-0.75=18.36 keV

To find wavelength

Wavelength= hc/ E

[(4.14x 10^-15)x (3.0x10^8)]/(18.36*10^3) =0.6764^-10 m
