Answer:
The angle of recoil electron with respect to incident beam of photon is 22.90°.
Explanation:
Compton Scattering is the process of scattering of X-rays by a charge particle like electron.
The angle of the recoiling electron with respect to the incident beam is determine by the relation :
....(1)
Here ∅ is angle of recoil electron, θ is the scattered angle, h is Planck's constant, is mass of electron, c is speed of light and f is the frequency of the x-ray photon.
We know that, f = c/λ ......(2)
Here λ is wavelength of x-ray photon.
Rearrange equation (1) with the help of equation (1) in terms of λ .
Substitute 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ m² kg s⁻¹ for h, 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg for , 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c, 0.500 x 10⁻⁹ m for λ and 134° for θ in the above equation.
= 22.90°
