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?


Homework Equations


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


The Attempt at a Solution


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

The photon is scattered off an electron.What is the name of that type of scattering? What do you know about that type of scattering?
 
i don't know any of the types, do you have any links refer to it?
 
What type of scattering is it? That would help a lot!
