X-rays are scattered from electrons in a carbon target. the measured wavelength shift is 0.00087 nm. calculate the scattering angle. answers

The scattering angle is: θ = 50.1°

Explanation:

As the Compton's Shift is given as:
Δλ = (h(1-cosθ))/m₀c --- (1)

Where
h/m₀c = 2.426 * 10^-3 nm
Δλ  = 0.00087 nm (Given)

Plug in the values in the equation (1) and solve for θ:
θ = 
θ = 50.1°
