A photon having E = 14.7 keV energy scatters from a free electron inside a metal. What is the maximum energy the electron can gain from the photon?
Lamda'-lamda= change in lamda = h/mc (1-cos(theta)) ...having problems figuring out theta ... I know E=hc/lamda so lamda = hc/E ...so 1240eV/1.47*10^3 ev = .0843537 ...am i on the right track and if so where do i go from here? thanks
