Conservation of relativistic energy and momentum


In the Compton effect, a 0.100nm photon strikes a free electron in a head on collision and knocks it into the forward direction. The rebounding photon recoils directly backwards. Use conservation of relativistic energy and momentum to determine (a) the kinetic energy of the electron, and (b) the wavelength of the recoiling photon. Use p = E/c
