(5) A photon with a wavelength of 1.04 ×10−12 meters scatters off a free electron initially at rest. The scattering angle of both the scattered electron and the scattered photon is 32◦.
(i) What are the energy and momentum of the scattered photon?
(ii) What is the kinetic energy and momentum of the scattered electron?
