Question
In a particular case of Compton scattering, a photon collides with a free electron and scatters backwards. The wavelength after the collision is exactly double the wavelength before the collision. What is the wavelength of the incident photon? (mel = 9.11 × 10-31 kg, h = 6.626 × 10-34 J ∙ s, c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)
