APFIVE Fractional Energy Loss in Compton Scattering
Two photons with different initial energies undergo Compton scattering with free electrons. Photon A has twice the energy of Photon B. If both scatter at the same angle, how does the fractional energy loss (ΔE/E) of Photon A compare to that of Photon B?
A
Photon A has a larger fractional energy loss
B
The relationship depends on the specific angle
C
Photon A has a smaller fractional energy loss
D
Both photons have the same fractional energy loss
