In the Compton Effect, a Photon of Wavelength $\lambda$ And Frequency F Hits an Electron That Is Initially at Frequency

question 29

Multiple Choice

In the Compton effect, a photon of wavelength $\lambda$ 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 \(\lambda\).
• 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 \(\lambda\).
