As the scattering angle of the photon increases, the wavelength associated with the photon increases.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The particle with quantum mechanical property is known as Compton wavelength. The wavelength of a photon increases during collision. When the scattering angle of the photon is 0 degree then the photon's wavelength increases by 0 and when the scattering angle is 180 degree then the wavelength of the photon will become double. This is known as Compton wavelength.

When a photon undergoes collision process, the photo loses its energy and this energy is transferred to the electrons. This causes energy of the photon to decrease and thus the frequency also decreases. Thus, the wavelength of the photon will increase.

The speed of the ball is 101miles/hr.

A mile is a unit of length that is exactly 1,609.344 metres long. Similarly, 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards make up one mile. The mile is an imperial and common US measurement of distance.

We just have to deal with unit conversions.

One mile is 5280 feet, or 1 ft = 0.000189

The speed of the ball in miles per hour is

$\frac{148ft}{1sec} . \frac{1mile}{5280ft} .\frac{60s}{1min} .\frac{60min}{1hr}$
