How Does Scattering Angle Affect Photon Wavelength?

Homework Statement

A photon whose energy is 8.00E-15 J is scattered off an electron at a 90 degree angle
What is the wavelength of the scattered wave?

i know that Lamda = hc/E
=6.63E-34 * 3E8 / 8E-15
=2.48E-11m

Does anyone know how to find out the wavelength including the scattered angle?
