Question 16 In a Compton scattering experiment, an x-ray photon of wavelength 0.0122 nm was scattered through an angle of 41.7°. a. [2] Show that the wavelength of the photon changed by approximately 6.15 x 10-13 m as a result of being scattered. b. [2] Find the wavelength of the scattered photon. c. [2] Find the energy of the incident photon. Express your answer in eV. d. [2] Find the energy of the scattered photon. Express your answer in eV. e. [2] Find the kinetic energy of the scattered electron. Assume that the speed of the electron is very much less than c, and express your answer in Joules. f. [2] Hence, find the speed of the scattered electron. Again, assume that the speed of the electron is very much less than c. Total: 12 Marks
