Photons of wavelength 65.0 pm are Compton-scattered from a free electron which picks up a kinetic energy of 0.75 keV from the collision. What is the wavelength of the scattered photon?

0.6764*10^-10m

Explanation:

Using E= hc/wavelength

(4.14x10^-15)x(3.0x10^8)/(65x10^-12)=0.1911x10^5 eV=19.1 keV

So subtract the calculated energy from the given energy of scattered photons

9.11-0.75=18.36 keV

To find wavelength

Wavelength= hc/ E

[(4.14x 10^-15)x (3.0x10^8)]/(18.36*10^3) =0.6764^-10 m

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

we have to simplify it

firstly, we will factor it

now, we can cancel like terms

now, we can combine it

so, we get

one "light year" is the distance that light travels, through vacuum, in one julian year.   that's 365.25 days, of 24 hours each.
