In the Compton Effect,a Photon of Wavelength and Frequency

question 18

Multiple Choice

In the Compton effect,a photon of wavelength and frequency f hits an electron that is initially at rest.Which one of the following occurs as a result of the collision?

• A)The photon is absorbed completely.
• B)The photon gains energy,so the final photon has a frequency greater than f.
• C)The photon gains energy,so the final photon has a wavelength greater than .
• D)The photon loses energy,so the final photon has a frequency less than f.
• E)The photon loses energy,so the final photon has a wavelength less than.
