for the following question:
x-rays scattered by a crystal are assumed to undergo no change in wavelength. show that this assumption is reasonable by calculating the compton wavelength of a Na atom and comparing it with the typical x-ray wavelength of 0.1nm.
my problems:
1) why doesn't x-rays undergo any change in the first place?
2) the question doesn't give you an angle, so won't there be 2 variables in
the compton effect equation?
