In a Compton scattering experiment, monochromatic X-ray photons collide with stationary electrons. The scattering angle \(\theta\) is measured relative to the incident direction of the photons. Which of the following correctly pairs the scattering angle \(\theta\) that yields the minimum energy lost by a photon with the scattering angle that yields the maximum energy lost by a photon?
