Problem38 60

The document discusses the scattering of a photon by an electron. It provides calculations for: 1) The change in wavelength of the scattered photon, which is calculated to be 0.0781 nm. 2) The momentum of the electron after scattering, calculated to be 1.65 × 10-23 kg∙m/s or about 2 × 10-23 kg∙m/s. 3) The kinetic energy of the electron after scattering, calculated to be 1.49 × 10-16 J or about 10-16 J.

b) Since the collision is one-dimensional, the magnitude of the electron’s momentum
must be equal to the magnitude of the change in the photon’s momentum. Thus,
