Mark
< Prev
Next >

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
