This problem is pretty confusing today would like somehelp! 36. In a compton-effect experiment in which the incidentx-rays have a wavelength of 10.0pm, the scattered x-rays at acertain angle have a wavelength of 10.5pm. Find the momentum(magnitude and direction) of th ecorresponding recoilelectrons. This problem is pretty confusing today would like somehelp! 36.

Explanation / Answer
Data: ' = 10.5pm = 10.0pm c = 3.00 x 108m/s h = 6.63 x10-34 J- s Energy of the recoil electron is E = hc(' - ) / *' Therefore momentum of the recoil electron is p= ( 2mehc(' - ) / *') The direction of the recoil electron is = tan-1( /') Substitute values. Substitute values.
