Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1.45 KeV
Concept:
Compton Scattering:- It is the scattering of a photon by a charged particle usually an electron. It results in a decrease in energy (or increase in wavelength) of the photon (which is usually an X-ray or gamma-ray photon).
Compton relation in given as
\({\rm{\lambda' \;}} - {\rm{\;\lambda }} = \frac{{\rm{h}}}{{{m_e}c}}\;\left( {1 - \cos \theta } \right)\)
where, λ = Initial wavelength, λ’ = Wavelength after & Scattering, h = Planck Constant, me = Electron rest mass, c = speed of light, θ = Scattering angle
Note:
\(\frac{h}{{{m_e}c}}\) is known as Compton wavelength of the electron and is equal to 2.43 × 10-12 m
Calculation:
λ = 0.850 nm, θ = 60°,
\(\lambda' = \lambda + \frac{h}{{{m_e}c}}\left( {1 - \cos \theta } \right)\)
\(\lambda' = 0.85 + \frac{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}}}{{9.11 \times {{10}^{ - 31}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}} \times {10^9}\left( {1 - \cos 60^\circ } \right) \)
= 0.8512 nm = 8.512 A
E = (12400/ λ' )eV
= 1.45 KeV
