. X-rays generated by an X-ray tube are scattered from crystal planes with a separation of d = 1.26 nm to select a specific wavelength. A scattering angle of theta = 80.0 degree is used to select the 1st order maximum of this wavelength. This X-ray falls on a metal plate with a work function of 6.20 eV and emits electrons. What is the maximum kinetic energy of these photoelectrons?

Concept explainers
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
Question
20. X-rays generated by an X-ray tube are scattered from crystal planes with a separation of d = 1.26 nm to select a specific wavelength. A scattering angle of theta = 80.0 degree is used to select the 1st order maximum of this wavelength. This X-ray falls on a metal plate with a work function of 6.20 eV and emits electrons. What is the maximum kinetic energy of these photoelectrons?
