    180 degree Compton Scattering: low versus high energy initial photon

    As stated in the OP, I've already ran the math. About 5 pages back to back running the different conservation of energy/momentum/mass equations, and found all kinds of mathematical relations. The answer I was looking for was what Ken G gave (thanks BTW).

    180 degree Compton Scattering: low versus high energy initial photon

    Right, you're basically just stating what Compton did in his original paper; the difference in wavelengths is equal to the Compton wavelength of the electron times 1-Cos(theta). So I guess if you want to deal with it in terms of wavelength, what is the significance of 2 times the Compton...

    180 degree Compton Scattering: low versus high energy initial photon

    So when you calculate the scattered electron energy and the scattered photon energy (for 180 degree deflection) you get roughly the following (in keV). Photon(in)__Photon(scattered)__Electron(recoil) 27.5_______24.8______________2.7 81_________62_______________19...
