- An incident photon of 1.7 MeV is scattered via Compton interactions through an angle of 22 degrees. What is the wavelength of the scattered photon and what is the new photon energy?arrow_forwardA beam of 400 nm light is adjusted to have the same intensity as a beam of 600 nm light. How does the number of photons in the 400nm beam, N400 compare to the number of photons, N600 in the 600 nm beam. Question 5 options: N400 = 2*N600 N400 = 32600 N400 = N600 N400 = 23600 N400 = 2600 None of the other responses are correct.arrow_forwardA) After a 0.790 nm x-ray photon scatters from a free electron, the electron recoils with a speed equal to 1.59E+6 m/s.
