Through what angle must a200 k±ð³Õphoton be scattered by a free electron so that the photon loses 10%of its energy?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required value of the angle is, 44.2°.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The energy of the photon is,E=200 k±ð³Õ

The photon losses is10%,.

02

Determine the formulas to calculate the angle which photon be scattered

The expression to calculate the energy is given as follows.

E=hcλ …(¾±)

Here,h is the plank’s constant and c is the speed of light.

The expression to calculate the change in the wavelength is given as follows.

Δλ=hmc(1-cosθ) …(¾±¾±)

Here,m is the mass of the electron.

The expression to calculate the changes in the photon’s energy is given as follows.

ΔE%=E-E'E …(¾±¾±¾±)

Here,E' is the energy after the scattering and is the energy before the scattering.

03

Calculate the angle which photon be scattered.

The energy of the scattered photon is given by,

E'=hcλ'

The energy of the incident photon is given by,

E=hcλ

Calculate the change in the photon energy.

Substitute0.10forΔE%, hcλ'for E'andhcλfor E into equation (iii).

0.10=hcλ−hcλ'hcλ0.10=1λ−1λ'1λ0.10=λ'−λλ'

Substitute Δλfor λ'−λinto above equation.

0.10=Δλλ'Δλ=0.10λ'Δλ=0.10(λ+Δλ)Δλ=λ9

Substitute λ/9for Δλinto equation (ii).

λ9=hmc(1−cosθ)λ=9hmc(1−cosθ)

Substitutehc/Efor λinto above equation.

hcE=9hmc(1−cosθ)cE=9mc(1−cosθ)1=9Emc2(1−cosθ)1−cosθ=mc29E

Solve further as,

role="math" localid="1663146814795" cosθ=1−mc29Eθ=cos−11−mc29E

Substitute 511 k±ð³Õfor mc2and 200 k±ð³Õfor E into above equation.

θ=cos−11−511‿é±ð±¹9×200‿é±ð±¹Î¸=cos−1(0.7161)θ=44.2°

Hence the required value of the angle is.44.2°
