    What Is the Incident Photon Wavelength in Maximum Energy Compton Scattering?

    I'm still stuck at finding the momentum of the electron. I know it's going to have 50 000ev of Kinetic Energy, but I'm not sure how to relate it to momentum.

    What Is the Incident Photon Wavelength in Maximum Energy Compton Scattering?

    Homework Statement If the maximum energy transferred to an electron during Compton Scattering is 50KeV, what is the wavelength of the incident photon? Homework Equations \lambda' - \lambda_{o} = h/(Me*c)(1-cos\theta) The Attempt at a Solution We know that the maximum energy...

    Measuring the wavelength and position of a photon

    Well, E = hc/\lambda From de Broglies wavelength equation, \lambda = h/p so here \DeltaE=\Deltapc So to find the uncertainty in position, I have \Delta\lambda, change that to \DeltaE. From there I can get \Deltap, and \Deltax = h/4\pi\Deltap Where \Deltax is the minimum...

    Measuring the wavelength and position of a photon

    Homework Statement A wavelength measurement gives Lambda= 6000 x 10^-10m with an accuracy of one part in a million. What is the minimum uncertainty in the position of the photon? Homework Equations deltaP*deltaX > h/4pi p = h/lambda The Attempt at a Solution In order to solve...
