Question

In Compton scattering between a photon and a stationary electron, most energy is transferred to the electron when the photon is deflected by an angle of 0°. True O False Question 2 (5 points

Answer 1

It is a false statement as when the photon is incident on the electrons at zero degree there is no interaction that takes place and hence photon is scattered with the same energy as the incident photon whereas electron is scattered at angle of 90 degrees. Hence due to this when photon is incident at zero degree minimum energy is transferred hence the given statement is a false statement that the energy transferred is maximum.
