Ok so i got this problem in my physics textbook and i'm just struggling with the last part, please help
X-rays are detected at a scattering angle of 163 and have a wavelength of 0.1867 nm. Find (a) the wavelength of an incident photon, (b) the energy of an incident photon, (c) the energy of a scattered photon and (d) the kinetic energy of the recoil electron
Okie the equations i used are the compton shift equation to determine the wavelength of the incident photon (the x-ray) and also used the equation for energy of a photon to calculate the energy of the incident and scattered photon.....but then i got stuck and don't know how to calculate the kinetic energy of the recoil electron:uhh:
I got the incident wavelength to be 4.75 x 10^-12 m, the energy of the incident photon to be 1.09 x 10^-15 J and the energy for the scattered photon to be 1.06 x 10^-15 J. I just need to know how to calculate the kinetic energy of the recoil electron
Thanks
