Fractional Energy Loss in Compton Scattering
Two photons, A and B, undergo Compton scattering with free electrons. The initial energy of Photon A is twice that of Photon B. If both photons 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
Both photons have the same fractional energy loss
D
Photon A has a smaller fractional energy loss
