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 ligh…
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.

An incident x-ray photon is scattered from a free electron that is initially at rest. The photon is scattered straight back at an angle of 180 from its initial direction. The wavelength of the scattered photon is 0.0830 nm. (a) What is the wavelength of the incident photon? (b) What are the magnitude of the momentum and the speed of the electron after the collision? (c) What is the kinetic energy of the electron after the collision?
After a 0.8 mm x-ray photon scatters from a free electron, the electron recoils at 1.4 x 106 m/s. (a) What is the Compton shift in the photon's wavelength? (b) Through what angle is the photon scattered?
