AP Physics 2
15.6 Compton Scattering
Case 1: A photon of wavelength \(\lambda_0\) scatters through an angle of \(\theta = 90^\circ\).
Case 2: A photon of wavelength \(\lambda_0\) scatters through an angle of \(\theta = 180^\circ\).
Case 3: A photon of wavelength \(2\lambda_0\) scatters through an angle of \(\theta = 180^\circ\).
Which of the following correctly ranks the kinetic energy \(K_e\) gained by the electron in each case?
