1. the collision between the high energy
photon and the electron
is elastic. the energy and the momentum carried by the scattering photon
and recoil electron is governed by the law of conservation of energy and momentum respectively.
2. an x-ray of frequency f has energy
hf and momentum hf/c
3. the electrons are comparatively at
rest in respect to the x-ray.
the above equations shows that the increase in wavelength is independent of the wavelength of the incident radiations as well as the nature of the scattering but depend on the angle of the scattering
