In Compton Scattering, a Photon of Wavelength λ and Frequency

question 3

Multiple Choice

In Compton scattering, a photon of wavelength λ and frequency f is scattered from an electron, initially at rest. In this process,

• A) the electron gains energy from the photon so that the scattered photon's wave length is less than λ.
• B) the electron gives energy to the scattered photon so the photon's frequency is greater than f.
• C) momentum is not conserved, but energy is conserved.
• D) the photon loses energy so that the scattered photon has a frequency less than f.
