Compton Scattering: Largest Shift & Min Energy Transfer

[dertyden]

assume that a photon scattered by an electron initially at rest. which photon scattering angle corresponding to the largest compton shift and why? At what minimum photon energy can half of the photon energy be transferred onto the electron ??

We have a separate group of forums for getting help with homework and coursework exercises. Look near the top of the forum list for "Homework & Coursework Questions", then click on that to see a list of the sub-forums.

You must show your own attempt to solve the problem, or at least start to solve the problem. We don't do people's work for them, but instead give hints, etc.
