What does Compton scattering demonstrate about photons?

State the Compton wavelength-shift equation.

What is the electron Compton wavelength?

What is the photon momentum in terms of wavelength?

Find the Compton shift for scattering through \(90^\circ\).

Find the maximum possible Compton wavelength shift for an electron.

What is the Compton shift for forward scattering?

An x-ray of wavelength \(0.071\,\mathrm{nm}\) scatters through \(90^\circ\). Find the scattered wavelength.

A photon scatters through \(60^\circ\). Find \(\Delta\lambda\) in terms of \(\lambda_C\).

For the \(60^\circ\) scattering in question 9, find the numerical shift.

Why does the scattered photon have lower energy than the incident photon?

Does the Compton wavelength shift depend on the incident wavelength?

Why is Compton scattering easier to observe with x-rays than visible light?

A photon has wavelength \(0.0500\,\mathrm{nm}\). Find its momentum using \(h=6.63\times10^{-34}\,\mathrm{J\,s}\).

What conservation laws are needed to derive the Compton formula?

Why is a classical wave picture insufficient for Compton scattering?

A photon wavelength increases from \(0.0400\,\mathrm{nm}\) to \(0.04243\,\mathrm{nm}\). What scattering angle caused this shift?

Can a Compton-scattered photon from an electron initially at rest have a shorter wavelength than before scattering?

Show that a \(180^\circ\) scattered photon has the largest wavelength change.

An incident photon has energy \(100\,\mathrm{keV}\), and after scattering its energy is \(90\,\mathrm{keV}\). Estimate the recoil electron kinetic energy, ignoring binding and rest-energy bookkeeping.
