A Certain Photon, After Being Scattered from a Free Electron 120120 ^ { \circ }

Question 153

Multiple Choice

A certain photon, after being scattered from a free electron that was at rest, moves at an angle of 120120 ^ { \circ } with respect to the incident direction. If the wavelength of the incident photon is 0.6110 nm0.6110 \mathrm {~nm} , what is the kinetic energy of the recoiling electron? (melectron =9.11×1031 kg,c=3.00×108 m/s\left( m _ { \text {electron } } = 9.11 \times 10 ^ { - 31 } \mathrm {~kg} , c = 3.00 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } \right. , h=6.626×1034 Js) \left. h = 6.626 \times 10 ^ { - 34 } \mathrm {~J} \cdot \mathrm { s } \right)
