Question

As the scattering angle of the photon increases, what happens to the wavelength associated with the photon?

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

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.
