Paper Details

X rays are produced in a tube operating at 18.0kV. After emerging from the tube, x rays with the minimum wavelength produced strike a target and are Compton-scattered through an angle of 45.0°.
(a) What is the original x-ray wavelength?
(b) What is the wavelength of the scattered x rays?
(c) What is the energy of the scattered x rays (in electron volts)?
