Fractional Energy Loss in Compton Scattering
< Prev
Next >

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
